Stratagem: Delayed Start, Ambush

The ideal terrain for this army is a plain with some difficult terrain to channel enemy forces. The 3 regular corps must try to outmanouver and outflank the enemy. Corps 1 is the strike arm, and must attack along a wing, possibly where the flank march is executed. Corps 2 can fight both in good going or in difficult going. Corps 3 should receive the lower pip die and be used as to flank march, delayed or as a bait.
