How do you handle attacks against "stacked" provinces?  If a single 
unit attacks, are all supports cut, just one, or none?  If less than 
all, who decides which get cut?  Is support still cut if an attack 
into the province is stood off by an attack from the same 
province?  Are stacked units treated singly or in groups for the 
purposes of dislodgement?  Do units issue support orders for their 
own province or are they supported to hold just by being 
stacked?  Can dislodged units retreat together?  Must they?  Can 
units from different spaces retreat to the same space?  If units move 
together from one province to another, is this considered a supported attack?

I have a lot of questions about this apparently simple variant.
