Default Re: HQ unit for AI run side

No - the A0 is special as outlined above

- It counts way more than 1 element for the "force broken" calculation when in retreat or worse status
- It is the rear comms link to off map units, which means if it is lost or in rout/retreat then off map units are more likely to be unavailable for missions
- It represents you in camaingns other than the PBEM one. Lose it and game over for your LC.
- It is a better OP element than any other regular HQ - so it may be good set up on an overwatching hill in the rear as a "semi FOO". It loses that bonus if not an HQ type unit, so converting it is not advised.

Basically - its not a combat unit, it should "hide with pride". There is no need for the old SP1 thing of converting it into another panzer or whatever, In SP1 you only had 24(?) units to play with in your core so every combat element coonted. In our games the core limit is >100 units. So dont"go Rambo" with the HQ elemet, its silly. If you change it into another panzer - then air strikes will be more likely to kill it for example since its now much more visible and interesting to air units...
