One of the things I'm having trouble with is opening a stack. If the helmets are over an adjacent tile with a unit etc. clicking on them almost always me that other unit. I find myself enlarging about as much as possible then using the arrow keys to to recenter and then click on the helmets. Am I missing the right way to do it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

There are actually 3 methods to select a unit within a stack.
See the UI help (second alinea)

I like to use leftclick while rightclicking on a stack myself the most to bring up the selector.

Thanks. Just used your method. Great help!

I use that method too. Can also double click on the banner.

This is a tricky thing. I also recommend to hold the right mouse button and left click but it is kind of a "hidden" way. We already addressed that couple of days ago (because that was one of the things players struggle the most) and it will be sorted out better in next update.

The problem is simple - when player clicks on a unit banner (when more units are on that tile) BUT there is a unit behind that banner, what should be selected? So far it was selecting the unit behind the banner (on the tile in the north from stack of units). In such case holding right mouse button and left click was pretty much the only choice how to open the unit selector. This will be fixed in the next version - once you click on a banner, it opens the unit behind but if you double click on the banner (or helmet) it will open the unit selector. There will also be a tooltip saying that double click opens the unit selector.
I hope this will make everyone's life easier.
