We've done this before, and it adds additional maneuvering to the game.
Both players will want to concentrate their forces in order to
concentrate
their firepower.

The only problem comes when one player has their forces coming in close
to each other (based on the starting die roll), and the other has their
forces split across the table.	It's a real challenge to try to
consolidate your forces when there's a lot of starting distance between
them.
