Many battles have occurred when one unit meets another and begins a skirmish, drawing the rest of the armies into a huge battle. You only have to look at the Battle of Gettysburg to realize this. So saying that they have to line up and face the enemy before engaging in battle is ludicrous. It may be preferred to line up before battle, but rarely do things go the way you want them to in war.
BattleMaster has no support for battles that do not begin with all units already in place and in battle formation. Adding such support would be very time-consuming.
