6.72 Decapitation (Now voting for clarification! Come make yourself heard!)
The rule says: "If the highest-ranking leader on a side is eliminated, no friendly unit within three hexes of where he was killed may move in the remainder of the current or subsequent game-turn. They may fire normally."
Given this situation: The force has a 1 LTC, 2 Majors, and 4 LTs: On turn 5 the LTC is immolated by an artillery barrage and all units within 3 hexes suffer decapitation for this and the next turn. The 2 majors are still alive.
On turn 10 one of the two Majors dies leading an assault that does not go so well. So, do all units within three hexes suffer decapitation? If not and then, in the next turn, the last major gets killed by a tank, does the side then suffer decapitation?

RE: 6.72 Decapitation
It has been several years but I recall asking that question, too. The answer that I got is that if you have multiple "highest-ranking leaders" then the decapitation occurs only when the last such leader bites the dust. Until that happens you are good to go. (Well maybe not. If you keep losing your formation leaders then you may have bigger problems than you anticipated).

RE: 6.72 Decapitation
I don't believe in multiple decapitations, so in the case you mentioned I'd say units only suffer decapitation when the LTC dies. As for multiple leaders of the same highest rank, I tried to make sure there was only one leader of the highest listed rank per side per scenario, just to avoid this type of question. Still, if you do find a scenario where there's more than one leader of the highest rank on a side at start, I'd have to say all of them would have to die for decapitation to occur.
