Civ:CTP is supposed to offer this feature when it comes out.  According to
a review I read (at "Gamespot"), you will have the ability to "stack"
units together, and thereafter treat them as one army.

Obviously this is a major change from Civ1/2, so we'll have to wait for
the game to come out before we can make any intelligent comments about
it. :-)
