So I guess the best you could do is 1 inf with a +2 combat bonus and 2 tanks in one hex and then 2 stacks of 3 inf next to them in 2 hexes all combine?
No. There are 2 issues. First, tanks cannot directly combine fire. Second, Regular Leaders may not activate (or otherwise command) tanks.
Since one unit may always combine with another [activated] unit in the same hex, you need to work through infantry/gun units. So you need something like this: Hex 1) leader x-1-x, infantry, tank w/leader; Hex 2) infantry, tank. Hex 1 activates, reg leader activates infantry in hex 2, tank leader activates tank in hex 2. Tank in hex 1 combines with infantry in hex 1. Tank in hex 2 combines with infantry in hex 2. Reg leader combines both infantry/tank fire teams.
