i kinda like the way Command Decision (WW2 miniatures) handles morale
and 
leaders.  given that each stand equates to a platoon in CD, there are
company,
battalion, regiment, etc leaders.  they each issue orders to their
immediate
commands.  if a leader is out-of-action, the immediate group takes a
morale
check (but not too severe).  commanders may take over orphaned or stray
units with a Take Command order, but only groups belonging to a lower
"rank".
example, a battalion CO could Take Command of a company or platoon, but
not
another
battalion.

not only does this allow for re-organization but the possible
continuance
of a battle.  it works well in CD, and pretty smooth in DS2, so far.
