Thinking about a "defense mode" I think might be confusing you, as if there is some defense mode that is mutually exclusive from an attack mode. This is never the case. Like I said above, any unit will defend a melee attack tic any time one occurs so everything is sort of in defense mode all the time. You can be attacking a target whilst being attacked (and defending) from an unlimited number of other stacks simultaneously and that will never affect your attack cycle.

What do you mean? Apart from the current bug where you can only defend (actually: prevent yourself from attacking) in province centers, all if this worked exactly the same in 1.0.

It was the same in CoW1.0. Just the UI and icons were different, e.g. we didnt show the defensive icon. The defensive icon is just meant as a visual help, it will not influence how defense/offensive damage is dealt.

I think haphazardly you have from defense option clicked on the attacking units with your tanks selected and attacked them, switching thus from defense to attack, and inversely the infantry switched from attack to defense.

Attacking units cannot enter by themselves in defensive mode, yet units in defensive mode can switch to attacking mode, and force the opponent in defense (I do this when offensive units are trapped in melee in defense modus
