I'm not a very veteran gamer (only a year) but one thing arise my curiosity... All people wants to fight "blobbing", one of the best way IMHO would be having more effective Marshals.
For years I played a lot of wargames, and one thing in common in most of them was the big importance of a good Marshal, and the disaster who can make an incompetent one!
If It's not a design choice, it could be good to make Marshals more 'decisive' on battles... to put a bonus in the army with better Marshals or something like this... I think... maybe make another ability for this, or user the 'leadership'... Maybe I'm wrong, but right now is not very useful? 
How does that affect blobs? Blobs are just as likely to be lead by good Marshals as smaller armies are.
