Never tried it this way so I'm not 100% sure of this, however. OTOH, you could always keep some mock troops with your ID to prevent this from happening.

Stealthy targets don't get hit by spells like Wind Ride, and so you must unstealth your scouts for them to work as chaff. Stealth is a very nice ability for a raiding Super Combatant to have!

You do have to be a bit carefull, for as you allude this scout tactic is vulnerable to teleport attacks (before you leave the scouts), especially if your retreat provinces are simultaneosly cut. Still, this is less of a risk than Wind Ride.
