Hmm... OK; I'll ask. Incidentally, my Imperial army is quite capable
of taking advantage of this "super move." It still strikes me as
being cheesey.
I think the rule is supposed to represent advance elements (scouts) having
infiltrated their way into the battlefield, undetected, before the battle
starts. This is true even if you don't start them on the table top. The
scouts were there all the time, they just didn't enter the fight until
your reserves showed up. The +30cm extra move allows you to simulate
how far they made it before becoming detected or enterring the fight.
