It's tricky, i want all this progression that your talking about Sul but at the same time we can't have a system where the new players are just stomped into the ground by long time players with superior progressed units. Progression of some sort would do alot to help the game though, so long as the game can keep players long enough to get them attached and wanting to collect things. We could also use things like being able to rename our companies, maybe something like avatars or some custom portraits for our faction (the portraits you see just before you and your opponent enter your match).
One thing i've noticed a few online games doing recently seems pretty straight forward to emulate in Dogs of war also (provided the game can get the players). Tournaments, one of the things about the leaderboard at the moment is you have to wait a significant amount of time before you get rewarded and even after all that it isn't really all that substancial for the amount of time it would take. If your going for the leaderboard rewards your doing it for the love of the game not so much for any cyans you'll get out of it. With tournaments though you can have an entry fee (aka Cyans) and you can set various different rules to those tournaments. Deathmatch, VIP, 200 ap, 400 ap, 800 ap, turn limits etc and give out some desireable rewards to those who do well. Adds some variety and gets players to play around with their compositions.
