Seen this one a few times over the years, most recently in my current AoD108 game. Say I have 4 armies, each of 3 divisions in one province with one FM commanding one of the armies. An attack against one province is started. Instead of just one battle with the 12 divisions shown, there are 4 battles shown, one for each of the 4 armies. Say they are attacking 9 enemy divisions. Normally this would be 12:9 so the attacker might succeed. But now the combat is 3:9, with four of these going on simultaneously. The attacker gets badly mauled due to being outnumbered, the simultaneous attacks probably help a bit, but overall a bad result for the attacker. Happens most often when I click on the armies individually in sequence; one army I might want support attack, the others attack, another army I might want offensive supply, hence my reasons for setting them up for battle individually. Anyone else observed this?
