Actually, I think is should be something like a certian fraction of
the units needs to be engaged. Like a quarter or something. Or maybe
a unit that is engaged with under a x% of it's units auto rallys
at the end of the turn.
        This is something else I was thinking of. Guard Orders. A unit that
is on guard orders will attempt to intercept close assaults. (Sort of
like snap fire.) The guard unit may move up to it's full assault move
and (or maybe full move or something) and engages the assaulters
before they reach the first unit. CC is resolved normally. Just a
thought.
