What does "Stacking Attacks" Mean

In the recent Slitherine Q&A on PzC2 - reference was made to 'stacking attacks"

What does that mean? Thanks

I assume it's a reference to "Mass Attack", where if you surround an enemy unit with several of your units, the enemy gets a reduction in Initiative (meaning you're units are more like to hoot first, and thus take less return fire).

Maybe - though why the game's Rep on the Q&A would call Mass Attack - an established and well known term "Stack Attacks" seems odd

I believe the term "Stacking", in this context, means that each additional allied unit that is adjacent to the target enemy (and has not fired this turn) adds to the bonus. It is not just "Mass Attack" or "No Mass Attack" because the bonus scales with the number of eligible units that can participate.

Ok that sounds likely - thanks

Back in the day when we had board games like Panzer Blitz, stacking happened when you had multiple units in one hex

Back in the day? Dude we still do! Slitherine contains a number of bona fide world champions and every friday night you'll find me playng wargames or euros with my mates. I worked on the maps for a few, back in the day.
