I'd say it starts on the squad level - If a squad gets too far down in 
morale, special surrender/switch confidence/reaction tests must be made.

 It will fail these, eventually (sooner rather than later), and at that 
point is surrendered.

There are several options at this point:  The squad could become combat 
ineffective, and be removed from the board.  It could move towards the 
enemy's table edge.  It could move towards the highest command level 
on-table, where it could be re-assigned.  It could count as a
suppressed, 
disordered squad for the enemy (now friend) that must be rallied, 
unsuppressed, and reorganized before it can act.  It depends on how you 
want to run the scenario.

There would be morale penalties for a side that has squads defecting -
as 
more leave, the chance of leaving increases.  Eventually, one side is 
hemorrhaging squads, and is soon rendered ineffective.	This would only 
happen in a KV v. KV fight - most of these would be less bloody affairs 
than Human/Human battles, as the losers in a KV/KV fight know they'll be

well-treated.  When one side starts to lose really badly in a KV/KV
fight, 
the command & remaining elements either retreat, negotiate terms of 
withdrawal, or surrender.
