I guess it is rare but then that would also depend on your opponent and whether he is kind enough to stack 8 Arty for you to melee. One of my current opponnents has been so kind!
FYI, another complication is that if the meleer vacates the hex then the original owner is forever unable to enter or pass through the hex. OTOH, the meleer is able to enter and exit the hex as often as he likes. Whether the meleer's units are able to enter and exit the hex during the same turn remains to be playtested.

<br />I imagine these are extreme and unlikely to happen examples.

<br />A further complication to this "exceeding the stacking limits via melee glitch" (when additional units are stacked with 8 Arty units) is that none of the units in that stack are able to fire.

<br />Here is another interesting tidbit. If you have eight artillery units in a stack, and the enemy successfully melees the stack, it will stack on top of the captured artillery. If it then leaves the stack, the original owner cannot place a unit on the stack of uncrewed units, so he can't recrew the artillery. But if the capturing player leaves a unit on the stack, and the original owner can successfully melee it, he can get units on the stack and presumably recrew when his units undisrupt. Fascinating. I assume the same holds true when the artillery stack holds twenty guns, but I haven't tried that yet.
Well, I tried it with twenty uncrewed guns, and the original owner can enter the hex with infantry, unlike the 8-stack hex.
