Personally, even though a game that *looks* good is important to me, I
can live with
the chits.  But then, I'm a lazy bastard, and I don't think that the
chits really detract
all that much from the appearance of the board.

However.  If you *really* wanted to, you could add a small piece of wire
to the rear of
unit leader's base.  Nothing much, just half an inch long, sticking
straght up.  And then
you could use small beads to denote the unit and leader quality -- 2 red
beads denote 
a level 2 leader and an elite unit.  Visible, easy to change, but not
*too* ostentatious.

A second wire could be used to track confidence in a similar fashion,
and you indicate the
other things (like In Position) with other colors of beads.
