If a defender is attacked repeatedly, when are retreats applied and does an adjacent retreat stop?
The Retreat and Close Combat sections order the steps.

Hits are applied first, then retreats, and each attack is resolved completely before the next, so the defender decides whether to retreat or ignore the flag before facing the next attack. Adjacent friendly units cannot stop a retreat midway; support applies only when the flag is rolled. If a defender battling back rolls flags the attacker must retreat.
