This is a very good tactic, but always remember to have your scout on sneak or hide orders. You do not want to lose those gems/blood slaves/magic items. Its also a good idea to script retreat with your scout and place to the rear of the battlefield just in case.
As a rule of thumb lets say I have a army with 2 mages who are scripted to cast spells in combat of 6 gems, my scout would typically be carrying 12 gems, enough to fight another 2 battles with. Make sure you always remember to transfer the gems from scout to mages, I have forgot once or twice and had some embarassing defeats...
