And what about command bunkers. Any effect on rally?

In the past � but not on this thread - I have heard many say, when describing the A0 unit to new players: �this is you�.

This is an interesting statement. Because if the A0 unit is �you�, then it raises questions like: If �you� are killed, should �you� still play on ;) or to what extent is your A0 unit your alter ego? :rolleyes:

So it also make me think about the personal leadership style which �you� have. For example, when forming a strategic plan to win a battle is it daring or conservative? Because your plans obviously reflect your personal style.

In the same way what is your leadership style on the battlefield? Do you think you can best serve your men hidden away in some bunker in constant contact with your Artillery Officer, or are you more cavalier and prefer to
lead from the front, a good example and morale boost to your men?

Many on this thread have reiterated the importance of protecting your A0 unit. Who can argue with the importance of this, however, I find some of the lengths that players are going to, a little over cautious.

I encourage people to use their A0 unit in a way that they are comfortable with; but don�t let fear of the enemy keep you from �personal� bravery and having a thoroughly good time on the battlefield :D

�I�ve� died in battle a couple of times, but �I�ve� also �personally� made a difference at the front in a number of memorable instances. My A0 section has even racked up kills and survived the battle, actually destroying a German armoured car one time; and this in SPWAW not H2H!

Don�t misunderstand me, I don�t conduct my battles with reckless abandon. On the contrary, I plot every move in a chess like fashion. Usually keeping my A0 unit with an infantry company or Tank Squadron.
