Three SP mortars do not fire explosive rounds & one fratricidal artillery piece

What I never do is get it into the front lines to do something "fighty" or park it alongside things that will atract artillery (like beside an arty, AAA or SAM unit).

A0 is the "head shed" for your troops and has no business geting into fights either directly or indirectly. Find somewhere to park it safely that is away from anything that will attract attention and leave it there.

Okay, so that means that it stays as an SP mortar, but I just use it wisely.
