Best way to play C'tis Miasma?

[magnate]

Interesting reading, this - I'm just losing my first ever game as C'tis base, to Vanheim, and I'm thinking of trying Miasma next.

One question though - when you assassinate indie commanders, how do you know how many are left? When you've assassinated them all, can you take the province with a single scout because the troops will all rout immediately? I've never taken indy provinces by anything other than brute force, so I'm keen to know how this works.
