1. If an archer makes a ranged attack at an enemy and rolls flags, does the enemy retreat? Not sure if it was just with melee attacks that you retreat.

2.If question one is YES, the does an enemy unit still retreat even if they are engaged to another unit. (i.e. Archers roll flags against an enemy that is engaged with another unit).

if an enemy unit has to retreat out of combat due to a ranged attack and they were previously melee engaged to another unit, does that other friendly unit get to make a parting blow?

If yes, then having archers follow up melee assaults could be quite devastating. Also, if archer units are attacking adjacent enemy units, are they considered to be attacking in melee and get the benefits of setting up flanking attacks a parting blows, while also getting the disadvantage of counterattacks?

archer attacks dont cause melee and retreat doesnt cause parting blows so nope.
