I had a stack of artillery and was pounding the evil Gaians. I brought up another artillery unit near the stack and fired at the evil Gaians. The unit shot missed - didn't hit anything. One of artillery units in the stack turned and fired at my lone unit! An artillery duel began (to my horror!), the single unit destroyed one of the stacked units and damaged the others in the stack! Is this normal?

I discovered this too. I was shelling a hive city with a whole bunch of artillery in a stack shortly before the missile squads moved in. A slip of the mouse and suddenly the Hive defenders would have seen an interesting sight through thei perimiter defences. After the smoke cleared I had to withdraw, as most of my units were destroyed or heavily damaged. How embarasing...

Are you sure you were not playing as Iraq?

I can confirm this also. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw two of my units attack each other. I didn't quite catch what happened but I did notice on the combat report at the bottom it showed UoP vs. UoP. I could of swore I saw the computer controlled Gain do the same thing to itself.
If it happens again, I'll send detailed info with a SG.
