If that is really going to happen, then I would like to request the  
following things go with it:

- a game-provided "war council" message group, with at least all the  
Marshals in the realm, and preferably the High Council and all Marshals
- the ability for Dukes to assign militia from their cities (with the  
same randomness and restrictions that Generals have now)
- at least some form of the General's Bulletin should survive, though  
I'm not entirely sure how it would work

This would ensure that we don't lose some of the valuable tools that  
a General provides.

And if you're wondering why I don't mind losing the General  
position...well, I've been saying for ages that it's essentially a  
powerless position, at least within game mechanics.  Anyone with the  
support of the Judge can be an effective General, even if there's no  
official General position.
