Are you sure you tried that one out? If so, you forgot to mention that it
needs more than one player participating, because the order of events is
like that:

Phase I character

Phase I military
	Movement (including battles from encounter orders)
	Phase II military

Phase II character

This does not allow a character to fight in more than one force of the
same player in the same turn, as there is no possibility to teleport
from one force to another _between battles_.
Of course it is possible to use the strategy you described when two
or more players work together, as in this case you can teleport to
someone else's force which then may attack one hour or two days later.

By the way, I can't see much use in attacking a town more than once (in
the same turn or otherwise), at least as long as it would be logistically
possible to combine the forces into one. That way, you usually have fewer
losses.

Against lairs, it is a neat method to attack them twice if using no soldiers
but only characters: First attack to get some characters severely wounded,
second attack to finish the monster off by empathic self cure (and pray
you won't surprise the monster on the second attack). This strategy gets
even more important in ruins where winning against the monster parties is
not enough; killing or capturing all of the monsters usually means more than
one attack on every force.

The only case where I like to have as many battles as possible in rapid
succession is against legions (mostly of other players) to make sure I
kill all soldiers and capture as many characters as possible.
