Using the scouts to check ahead can be a good idea, though they may end up in trouble if they ran into enemy infantry at close range. Once the reinforcements start popping up, you will have plenty more infantry to screen the advance.

Keep in mind that the scenario lasts for 50 turns, so there is no major need to rush things in the first rounds.
Sound advice indeed. An aggressive approach is likely to end in disappointment, if not abject humiliation.
