RedFred (see How much vig? below) made a suggestion to add a high Defense, low Offense rover unit to a stack to protect your attack units.
Which begs the question: are out-of-base stacked units vulnerable in the same way that CivII units are/were? It seems to me that they are not but I may be (probably am) mistaken.
If they are - do you sometimes take along a rover former so as to build a bunker for your attack units or do you just disperse them?
FNG's want to know this stuff.

lbores: Excuse me? I gave a legitimate answer to your question. You asked if units all died if the first defender died. I said no. There's your answer.
You have been playing this game quite a bit it seems lately. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was simply pointing out that you probably would've noticed at some point if all your units died instantly.
I have answered many of your questions at length in the past, from telling you exactly where you could find SMAX to making a whole PCX replacement file just for you when you asked for a picture of 7-of-9 to replace the Cyborgs. Do you really think I'm trying to be some kind of an ass? I simply wanted to point out that in your playing of SMAC, and some point you probably would've said, "Man! My stack of units all just died all at once!" if that was the way the game worked.
If you want me to be impolite, I will. Spare the bragging to a college student about your prestigeous medical career. That mind of yours is obviously very limited. Your questions make up a full 50% of new threads on this forum. There are some really good newbie strategy quetsions, but most of it is pretty lame. Some people don't just "figure out" things as well as other, but I would think given your background that you wouldn't be so helpless. You say you are a physician and work for a "major player" in the "medical device field". I would think you've had a good amount of schooling. You say you speak Russian well. I assume you don't have trouble understanding new things. You say you've played CIV2 extensively, and even prefer it to SMAC. I certainly think you should have a feel for the gameplay and concepts involved in SMAC.
But no, you ask questions that are just ridiculous. As I said before, strategy is one thing, and that's what most people are here to discuss, but why would you ask something like, "Does a stack of units die if the first defender dies?" Why don't you try it and see what happens? How about another thread you started, asking [/b]"How do you deploy planet busters? I have 3 and don't know how they work!"[/b] What the hell? Can't you just save the game and try running them into something and see what happens? How about the thread you started asking which SMAX faction is the closest to the University? I answered that one too, but what gives? Why couldn't you just look at the list of factions and say, "Wow, there's only one new faction with a research bonus, that's probably the closest to the University!"
I know you're not trying to be annoying. I'm actually glad to help, and I did notice you even started a thread to thank people for taking the time to answer your questions. So don't take it too hard. You'll know if I'm trying to be an ass, so please give me the benefit of the doubt when I'm not. Lighten up. It's a bad idea to take anything on the net personally, because there are plenty of people who have nothing better to do that try to stir things up. Let it go.

dimension:
I've never encountered 'lame' questions from anyone - just uninformed ones; which is why they were asked in the first place. You'd be amazed at the questions that get asked by ostensibly 'sophisticated' individuals from time to time - we're all human after all.
Let's just agree to disagree shall we?
Live long and prosper.
