"All battle groups except those in ambush or on an outflanking march are deployed in the order listed in the order of march. The number of battle groups to be deployed in each batch is pre-determined as above. Battle groups in ambush or on an outflanking march are omitted, and the next battle groups in the order of march must be deployed instead. Thus the correct number of battle groups must be deployed in each batch, until all visible on-table battle groups have been deployed. As a result, there may be no battle groups left to deploy in the last batch."
You get a benefit in doing it this way, in that unitl you deploy your later batches, your opponent doesn't know for sure you are flank marching.
Though you may need all the advantage you can get to hold the enemy up with only 5 BGs on table!
What it also says is that after deploying camps you must write down which flank and the total number of BGs on the march.
When you roll the correct number needed either a 9 or 10 you tell your opponent which side and the number of battle groups.a Only when you deploy them on the table do you need to inform your opponent, and these can be deployed at any time in your manouvre phase. After this I actually show the opponent the written down order for the flank march to show them which side i wanted it to come on more usually in a tournement game..
