There is a compelling argument to keep the A0 in the rear and someplace “safe.” Most often, you’d find the A0 in the rear with AA and FA guns, or just someplace seemingly detached from the battle. This is done to preserve the force effectiveness in the game. How the units recover from suppression for example is impacted by the presence of the A0, how quickly they route and take damage is affected by the A0. I maintain, along with other designers, that placing the A0 in a fight is what happens in the world.

Please visit this thread for a discussion of why not to put the A0 unit in the fight in your scenarios. Keeping A0 unit in the rear. The National Security Advisor and the General both contributed compelling reasons to keep the A0 in the rear.
