Even if you have only one out of two or three units selected initially in a hex and you hold shift and mouse around to include more units for the deliberate attack, that initial hex will try to include all three. So if your intent is to only bring one unit in that first hex you have to deselect the ones you don't want in the attack.

To make a deliberate attack, do the same thing but hold SHIFT on your keyboard. You will see the 'deliberate attack' icon appear. Be sure to HOLD the SHIFT key down while you right click to execute the deliberate attack.

This is the only way multiple stacks can be used to attack a single hex.Once you have all the units involved that you want, then right click on the hex and all the selected units will then attack.
