In Victoria (Canada) we play with a slightly modified morale 
system. A unit that is required to roll a morale check must 
continue making tests until it passes one. Each subsequent
test is made at -1 threat level from the last test. So if the
original test was at +3, then the second would be at +2, 
the third at +1, the fourth at +0, and the fifth would be 
an automatic pass.

I have a feeling that the severity of our system is somewhere
in between yours and the vanilla rules.

One thing that you may want to try is to allow units to rally 
themselves at threat levels equal to the leader value.
