If the single army issues "attack enemy", or if both armies issue
"attack enemy", then it becomes a joint battle, with the portions of the
single army facing each of the 2 armies.  After each combat round, the
portions may be readjusted, but I don't know for sure.  Otherwise,
it works pretty much as if it was one big fight.

I'm not sure what happens if the nation with a single army does not attack,
and only one army of the nation with two armies attacks.  I suspect in that
case, the other army does not participate in the fight.
Anyone know for sure?
