Yes, you could be assigned a non-combat avatar, although to be honest, I think you will enjoy it more if you have a general. Fighting the battles is half the fun. I would not worry about the technicalities or your fighting ability - we can explain the former (they are simple) and I'm sure you'd do fine on the latter (from the roughing handling the AI is giving me in M2TW, I don't think anyone is going to get the ridiculous kill ratios we got in WotS).
