I suggest this: A unit can attack a tile whenever there is at least one
target on that tile which the unit can attack. If the attacker wins, all
units that exist on the target tile that the attacker can attack die
(killstack). If a transport with units dies, its units do not die, but are
readied (unsentried). The reason for the latter is that otherwise carriers
would be near unusable (too risky).
