In my current game a pocket of Germans were all attacked. A Pz Army was forced to retreat and was able to retreat 2 hexes along a chain of friendlies. However this hex was under an attack marker.
What happens? Does the Pz army aid in the defense? *ouch*
Is it ignored under the 'one battle per unit' rule ? (although not explicitly stated there)
Does it suffer the same result as the original unit if there is one?
Can it participate in a CA result?

Yes, the Pz unit will help in the defense (ouch indeed!). And can be part of a "CA2 result.
You attack "HEXES", not units.
So plan the order of your combat resolutions in that light, Comrade Adlington.
Remember: Hexes are 100km, turns are two months, units are Armies and Fronts. a lot can happen in two months!

And now I see the true horror
An advance from a previous combat can also get itself involved in another combat? (albeit there is a restriction that you may not attack twice in a friendly phase)

Nope, because there is a restriction that you may not attack twice in a friendly phase. In your case the advancing units will not be able to attack a second time and be counted in a new, different, attack.. This is only possible for the defenders.

But they CAN advance to a second counterblow space

Possibly. But it would be a very rare happening!
An hex is attacked, the combat result is a "CA", the counterattack results in a DR (or better) and one of the non-phasing units advance into a space occupied with its side counterblows.

Exactly
And now that I 'get it' I see that you have re-created the desperate chaos that is the Eastern Front very well!
Quite surprising. I thought that this was a simplistic game yet the more I play the more depth I see. Kudos to you sir!

Thnaks! Do remember that each turn is one/two months, and each hex 100km. So a lot can happen during that time!
Tghis is also why cities do not stop advance after combat (but the objective cities): 100km hexes!
