My experience with the game is that a good army leader can get all of his units into battle at once. In my current e-mail game, Grant has managed it over and over again, even when sending units through woods and across rivers. As for cases when you have a less good leader and not all units arrive, I think you can find examples in reality in which units were more than ten days late in arriving at their destinations. Off the top of my head, there was Burnside's Mud March, in which the attack was called off because no units arrived. More vaguely, I seem to remember there were cases out west in which units failed to move at all for long periods of time. When the period of time is sufficiently long, this delay ceases to be tactical and becomes strategical.
