Blip's thoughts about keeping the termies as a "threat in being" is valid, because this will tend to paralyse the opponent allowing you to keep the battlefield initiative. Also, consider dropping your initial formations in a position to bombard the opposition rather than assaulting outright will do the same thing while allowing you both to support and spread out the timing of the assaults.
I'll note I find something similar with the much maligned WW formation. They seem to provide a greater psychological effect than they actually do in the game itself. Opponents tend to worry more about what they MAY do vs what they actually do (holding back their bombardment in the turn seems to exasperate this somewhat so opening with this isn't always the best). Once you get the enemy starting to flow in directions based on what you may do, you're on the path to starting to set the tempo for the game.
The above would have less effect on an enemy with prepared positions (BSM for instance).
