And I can't say I've seen the AI do this. SO if your dreaming of a solution, I'd suggest you send your btl file to HPS where the units start not stacked and then ask tech support to end the turn and watch Hex X,Y for the AI behavior you don't like - and we can have it looked at in the programming.
Also confirm with Tech Support that you are using the most recent ver of the game.
Last time we had a good review of the AI - prior to the Minsk release - we cleaned up a number of issues like this and I never saw this behavior. Not that it isn't possible - just that perhaps I was looking at a situation that was different than yours.
Anyway - you are free of course to dream about fixes if you like, but if your a little more proactive you may indeed make your wish come true.

I haven't seen the AI do what U124IBX describes but I often have wondered why the AI will move out of bunkers/pillboxes/trenches when they are defending. Sometimes it does it on the first turn of a game.
Is it because you can't give an order to an individual unit of a formation?
