In Scenario 1 of the Big Red One campaign, the WP SPA units (SPA/Adv/1/375th TR) are ordered to Move Deliberate with the main body rather than remaining in the rear and providing fire support. As a result, the WP force loses one of its main advantages and the Gvozdikas are quickly knocked out by the US defenders. This occurs with USSR BP 1.

The artillery orders should presumably be changed to have the SPA units remain in the rear, either set to On Call or Counter Battery. This would allow for effective fire support to be provided and would likely make the defenders' task significantly more difficult.

If that is the FSE element of the formation, the 6-tube unit moves with the rest of the FSE in forward mode and should direct support the units in its formation. It's not a rear area battery in this case.
