I have posted this in other posts but feel it deserves offering up within this section of the forum. Can anyone confirm that you are unable to synchronize the arrival of units performing a support defence mission? I think this would be a valuable addition since it would represent the ability to prepare a second line of defense within the same province. You would still have the option of feeding in units one at a time, as quickly as possible, or you could have the faster ones wait and combine with other local forces for a more substantial counter attack. This would obviously have the disadvantage of those units perhaps not arriving in time but the risk could be optional.
I'm not 100% sure you can't already do this, will have to check. As far as I can remember units arrive as quickly as possible and are, more often than not, quite quickly taken apart by the likely far superior forces the enemy will have earmarked for the attack.
Others will likely argue this will make it too easy to blunt an attack but I'm not so sure, at the very least you'd still be reducing your neighbouring fronts as per the way it works currently. It makes sense that units would coordinate with eachother when counter-attacking. Hard to be sure of the effects without testing.
thoughts / opinions ?
edit: I'm of course referring to units that arrive after the initial defending units have been defeated and are in retreat. Otherwise it makes sense to throw them in as fast as possible. You'd still have to setup the support defence before the battle ended but you could make the decision based on how long you'd imagine your units would be able to hold out.
