eh, no. the whole point is that the marshal or council which would include marshal decided on the orders for the following turn. then whoever is on 1st give them out (drawn from a list of possible scenarios)
anyone can issue orders, whether anyone follow them is another matter. if a marshal and his command group decides on the strategy and tactics, and made that known that's how it would work and no one follows it because it ain't the marshal issuing it in person, then clearly they don't really much care about the marshal anyway and the only reason they might follow him is the threat of fines and what not for not following an "official marshal order". in which case, you've lost already.

obviously this is not all that related to delayed standing orders. but i've already said why it's not necessary, because it can be done already with existing tools. only issue is one of perception. just because the game flips a "page" for you does not mean that new "page" is any better or newer than if it was all written on the same page. if anything, it gives a misleading impression that it's based on latest intelligence rather than a (possibly educated) guess from the turn before.
