Only the replacements perhaps should be lowered more, they learned their trade in their units and perhaps they had few uniforms.
A question about promotable leader for the Reds.
Imagine the situation you have to promote a leader and a good one, unfortunately a poorest leader has normally to be promoted before and you learned that if doing so (promote the best leader) the other leader complains and you lose morale points.
All of this is OK for AACW and Democratic countries (union Mc Clellan ) or some sane competition for kingdom.
But here when you take your decision (as Red) you play as Lenin or Armies leader like Trotski or ...Stalin. I mean the most sadistic Killer /murderer of the time.
Can you imagine you as a General complaining to them ?
Personally i would be terrified.
Perhaps the Reds could promote at will.
I don't know what happened at the time and perhaps the rules are ok but it is totalitarism here...
Totalitarian regimes usually have the problem the promotion is often based on party loyalty ahead of competence. I can't provide examples from the Russian CW, but Im sure there were plenty.
