Yes.
In my example battles shown here, pretty much every unit routet (except for the last to be send in) and took losses while fleeing, but only the first few % of casualties total recovered. 0, nil, nada, zilch of other units, fleeing or not.
And it was a "siege battle", too, albeit without walls.

Well, the Early Saka Nobles in example No. 1 fled when they were down to 6 men - where do the other 40 recoveries come from?
From my experience it is always the first guys to die that have the greatest chance to recover. Co-incidentally these are often killed by missile fire. Tollheit is absolutely correct.
my experience shows that Tollheit is basically correct-I have high recovery rates for all initial contact units, regardless of unit type-missile units seem to recover most as they fight first in normal situations; I had a pezhetairoi unit get reduced to little over 20 men (of 123), but since they were the first to go into battle, all but 15 were healed (AS v. Carthage)*.
and yes, I had plenty of people heal from Charges-the above unit in fact took most of the casualties from the initial charge (a unit of medium cavalry+shoch troops).
*it was a guerilla style battle: soldiers hiding, taking cover, and ambushing each other. I basically had to take off the phalanx ability in order to "range" through the woods and do a sweep of the *******.
