Here is a suggestion. Under the current rules, it is often advisable to change the commander of a successful army, to stop the enemy putting an assassin on his trail with a scout army/follow order.
Firstly, this is desperately unrealistic. If an ancient/medieval/fantasy commander was successful, he would be idolised by his troops. Any attempt by the central goverment to supersede him with a subordinate would provoke a mutiny. Apart from that, no army commander worth his salt would give up his command for fear of an assassin.
We could get around this by a broader use of the 870 order. Central government could order a new commander to move, join and -take over command of- an army. This is totally different to replacing a successful commander with a subordinate from the same army. The order should allow the incoming commander to take over command of the army in hex 1234 (not by commander name) so that if the original commander is assassinated, the order would still succeed. If the nation has more than one army in that hex, the incoming commander would takeover the bigger one.
Of course it would be much better simply to make it more difficult for assassins to kill army commanders, but one subject at a time!
