Hide the units in a nonsensical spot far away from your main line. If I do that (for example, to hide cavalry that's supposed to rush towards the AI artillery behind its lines) then VERY RARELY the AI runs into them. Of course, you might encounter the odd case when the AI does the wide sweeping cavalry 'along the map's edges' maneuver to charge your rear, and, as a result, runs into the forces you have hidden.
