I'm not sure why I'm 2nd guessing my self here, but it looks different when playing with a different army...lol

I'm pretty sure I gave the right advice but correct me if I am wrong.

3 friendly units with 100mm frontage are completely flush as an enemy unit(E) with a front of 100mm approaches.

EEEEE
EEEEE
EEEEE
EEEEE
EEEEE


AAAAABBBBBCCCCC

They(ABC) move forward and wheel inward making it so that the enemy had to make a wheel to charge one of the selected units.

This wheel makes it so that the enemy has to move forward and then before it gets it's "free alignment" (not slide) it contacts corners with a 2nd unit.

Think even before if the unit did not wheel, when E targeted unit A they would contact unit B corner to corner...

This is all one combat correct....Unit E on unit A+B

Unit A was charged by unit E, unit B was unintentionally contacted, but brought into the combat..corner to corner...

My opponent then said if that was the case he would have charged unit B bringing all three units into combat so that I could not flank him...

I told him if he wanted to make all 3 units stuck in combat he should just charge the center unit, in which he took back his move and just slid the whole unit over to contact the middle unit.

This is one big combat correct?

Yes. It's one big combat if he charges B in the middle, and contacts corners on A and C.

That's what I thought. The "draw in" rule is optional, but physically contacting another unit forces it into combat, or so I thought.

Yeah.. forget the "draw in" rule. It doesn't exist.
