Your results look to be different between scouts/foot troops vs scout/cavalry. Would a better theory be that scouts and workers wait until all of the melee foot soldiers are gone before advancing, but attack immediately if no other foot solders are in the battle?

A scout bomb with 1 warrior negates the scout bomb and they do nothing... they wait for the warrior to die before doing anything. But does a scout bomb with a cavalry still work.

In other words, if mixed with cavalry or archers, scouts should rush up in round 1. If mixed with warriors/pike/swords, they wait.
