In a single ranked unit, are you allowed NOT place a character in the center of a unit? This would be to avoid HIT! artillery results smashing them instantly

For example, C being the character

--XCXXX--

Question: How do you not feel bad after getting shit stomped?

I like to think of myself as a casual: Don't mind losing so long as it's not having lost horribly.

I have lost before and it was fine but getting face rolled feels so disheartening and demoralising. How to better handle this?

It's so sad that GW is so intent on pandering to modern china that it's ignoring all the fascinating aspects of historical china it should be drawing from.
