I have the following rules question:

The situation:
Tom Fairfax and Lord Fairfax are besieging York, there is a siege marker on them. Tom has one brigade, while the subordinated Lord has 3. Come desertion phase, one loss has to come from this army.

What happens if I take the loss from T.Fairfax, thus removing him to the unemployed box and giving command to the Lord? Rationale is to free him for more urgent tasks, leaving the siege to the militarily less swift LF. But will the siege marker stay?

Movement rules are pretty clear on what happens if a besieging army is subordinated, i.e. the marker is removed. But what happens if the commanding general disappears because of desertion?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Tom Fairfax will stay put, he still has brigades via the Lord Fairfax counter on his Command Chart.
