Ah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, you're right in that auto-calcing battles can be even more disadvantageous than normal if you separate multiple stacks by unit type. Believe me--I still remember when I first made that mistake when I had just got the game! It wasn't until after reading through some threads about the issue that I realized why I was losing auto-calced battles even though I had superior forces in the province I was defending.
