Since the troop-commanding system is clunky and terrible and largely pointless, (there are a few basic tricks that will help some, but it's very rare for a battle to be so close that they're relevant) not-fighting means sitting behind a tree and going to eat lunch. That means that eventually, once you get up to the really large scale battles, you'll probably end up not really being able to engage in combat because of the risk.

If your character is knocked out, your only options are "RETREAT/SURRENDER (depending on how well your forces are doing) and LET THE AUTOFIGHT DECIDE" So you have to let every single battle run in real time, or pay a ridiculously high price in lives.
