How about...
If the last leader of army is assassinated a new army
commander is created automatically with a rank 1/2 (3/4)
of the old one. This continues until the rank gets too
low to hold the army together. Simulates promotion through
the ranks. There's always a sargeant around somewhere to
take control, though his leadership may not be supreme.
The better the commander the better the unnamed NCO's.
Anonymous, until called into action by the loss of the
company brass.

And I like the idea of leaderless armies. But care
needs to be put into it, ie do leaderless armies have
a maintenance cost ?'Deep in mordor, the 5000 northmen army suddenly find
themselves leaderless due to agent attacks on both the
commander and sub-commanders. Foods gone, no orders
from home base for an entire month. All looks hopeless
as they see army after army of DS move around them.
Even the 100 MA orc army stick their fingers at them
as they wander past. But they see allies approaching,
and they are saved. Its their pay arriving.Alas sending so much money from home, and being unable
to tell the army to go native and disband, had
bankrupted the northmen. But at least they got their
pay on time'.thanks
dinp.s. of course if leaderless armies don't get paid,
then we will ALL have fun using that rule.So I
think more rules need to be added on leaderless armies
apart from 'lets see them dissolve based on their
falling morale'.pps welcome back i11u5ion. long time, no hear.
