Any downside to unfortunate accidents?

Hi all. Just starting my 4th bite at the 800-pound apple (restarting a new game now that I understand better), and I have a question.

Is there any downside to an early cluster of unfortunate accidents? As in, regrettable situations where, say, three newly-assigned OHQ commanders, no doubt because of their poor grasp of basic tactics and self-preservation (not to mention intelligence), rush their OHQs into battle against an entrenched, overwhelming force, without bringing the rest of their brigade with them, and tragically fail to make it back out?

One of them, sadly, being a political party leader with a particularly sour personality.

Is there any downside to this? Any long-term cost?

Asking for a friend.

Not really, though beware early game suicidal attacks can push your casualties beyond your tolerance.

Good to know! My friend thanks you...

This made my day [:)]
I have made a mental note on how to "Retire" certain individuals

If they have a high level in Escape Tactics/Personal Combat and/or very low Heroism rating, the Leader involved may survive many otherwise suicidal engagements.
