There is protection of 5 hexes in the Franklin campaign however troops cannot fire from an overstacked hex. If inf keep coming in on an entry hex that is surrounded by cavalry they will rout the cavalry but the next turn the cavalry will lose their rout. The inf can be held there and picked off and not do a thing about it.

In the scenario editor for all of the HPS games the default setting for protection is 5 hexes. That is pretty much the accepted standard though, you could for instance, set the protection for Lee's escort unit at Gettysburg to 350 hexes, effectively paralyzing the Union army for one turn. [}:)]

I suppose it's possible to do this, but anyone who ever does this to me, may as well count on it being the last game they ever play against me.
