When you drop one friendly stack onto another friendly stack in another region, you get an intercept situation. However, if the target stack has move orders, then the intercepting stack fails to apply any lead in the current move phase. Thus, the intercept of friendly units only proves useful in two narrow situations:
(1) The target stack is stationary.
(2) The target stack is moving away from (receding) from the intercepting stack.
It does not perform well when the target stack is approaching and passing the intercepting stack.

Perhaps, there should some form of lead calculation performed as the predicted paths of both stacks is available at turn computation of the hosting phase.
