| + | The whole objective of the rule is to model the effect of the fact that it takes the attacker a bit of time to advance towards the enemy positions to reach a position where they can actually start effectively attacking the enemy. Thats why tanks have less of a startup penalty than infantry. | ||

| If you overstack, your troops will be more vulnerable and fight less well. You can overstack in defense as well as in attack. Overstacking makes attacks and defense stronger, at the cost of higher casualty rates. Penalties due to overstacking are only imposed when a land troop type is attacked (and notably not when air attacks air), and the penalty is exponential rather than linear. | If you overstack, your troops will be more vulnerable and fight less well.
