Raid on manoeuvres? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inroad

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raid on manoeuvres?' is the definition.
'inroad' can be an answer for 'raid' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'on manoeuvres?' bit.

'raid on manoeuvres?' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvres?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'manoeuvres' mean this).
'raid'+'on'='raidon'
'raidon' with letters rearranged gives 'INROAD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inroad that I've seen before include "Sudden attack made into a country" , "Encroachment, intrusion" , "One's intrusive" , "Ordain (anag.)" , "Encroachment; hostile attack" .)
