    Why would anyone not want to stack all of their war cards in one square
    on the battle map, I've looked and looked for a stacking restriction,
    but I can't seem to find one. Did I miss it somewhere?

    I have always conducted wars with mutible units in the one square. It
    does mean that any spells cast on that square will effect all the units
    there though.

    I don't have the book with me to check on a rule against it, But it seems
    that 'stacking' everyone would have a limit... it would get too crowded to
    fight! Besides, tight groups are easier to eliminate with arrow volleys, or
    especially--- Highly destructive area-effect spells...!

    Well, that depends.. I personally have Archers and anyone with a
    ranged attack get to attack everything thats stacked in one square.

    If you stack everything, its possible that a rain of arrows could
    kill everything. I also wouldnt allow more than 4 units in one
    square.

    Its also a bad idea strategically..

    I know.. Its a bad strategy in game mechanics. If all your people
    were engaged, then the enemy could move to surround you. Then, if your
    troops had a fall back result they wouldnt beable to retreat, and would
    be destroyed.
