Yes, you can drop any armies you want in any (friendly) town. There are three empty spaces in each.

Also, the Mind skill tree offers a skill called Reserve, which enables you to have two extra stacks (off-battle only).

There is a manual but it is in Russian, though you can translate it with Google.

I would say the best place for most information in the manual can be found on Gamebanshee now... which is in correct english!
