That would require stacking (moving units as a group); currently, units
in Freeciv can only attack one by one.

And if you're going to implement stacking, it would make more sense to
go all the way and implement CTP's stacked combat system.  It's one of
the few features in CTP that nearly everybody thinks is worthwhile.
