The Mangler Squig rules say that if a unit contacts the Squig then that unit gets 3d6 Strength 6 hits and the Squig is removed. Since it didn't say that the there is an exception for fleeing units contacting a Mangler Squig, I think we played it right...?
Yes, you did. Good. Thank you.
And thank all of you for that very interesting discussion about rules and different versions of the rule book.
I go to bed now... good night for all of you who do the same.

In principle: rex in suo regno imperator. Each language version rules supreme in its territory. However, there seems to be discrepancy not just between the small and big BRB, but also between the German version rules of Terror and its Random Movement rules.
In accordance with the English version, the German version of the Terror rule specifies "Beachte, dass auch nicht getestet wird, wenn die Zieleinheit keine Angriffsreakion wählen dürfte (zum Beispiel weil die Entsetzen verursachende Einheit im Zuge einer Verfolgungs- oder Zufallsbewegung angreift)" (Note that, if the target unit is not allowed to take any charge reaction (if, for example, the Terror-causing unit charged as a result of a pursuit or a random move), then the target does not take this test."

Nice find! That makes it even more weird.
BTW, before I went to bed yesterday, I looked it up in the small rule book (because yesterday when we discussed, I had the big rule book with me). The sentence about random movers fleeing if they fail their terror test is in both the small and the big version.

So, after all these rule discussions, back to the battle report...
Small decisions have big impact. The remnants of the huge Nigh Goblin regiment broke in the 6th Skaven turn - it was no longer steadfast - and was run down.
There was a Night Goblin Big Boss with an additional hand weapon in that regiment. In the first turn of the combat my opponent attacked that Big Boss, but didn't wound him. He then ignored him for the rest of the combat - the Big Boss was still alive when the regiment finally broke.
In the first draft of my army list, that Big Boss had the Crown of Command. If I had stuck to this decision, the regiment wouldn't have failed their break test in the 6th turn of the game. The game would probably have been a draw, depending on what would have happened then in my 6th turn.
If, if, if...
