Managing Watchers ... do you need to ?

Isn't it that their leader will rout due to army losses, and thus stop leading the watchers?

Possibly PvK, it happened to me several times, I think when the rest of the army routes the watcher goes with them. Even if the watcher itself is completely unharmed. Same thing happens with SC's, they fail a morale check and route even thou they have not been scratched and could very easily given time destroy all the enemy.
