Dumb question time!

Bicycles
In a Dynamic Campaign game (EF), I'm playing the Finns, fielding a J�ger battalion -- infantry equipped with bicycles.

A J�ger company enters the map as reinforcements: four infantry platoons and four bicycle units, each with a strength value of 6. No action points have been expended.

So far I have not found any way to load the infantry on the bicycles...When I attempt to do so, I get the message: "Cannot Load on Non-Carry Unit".

And yet when I check the stats on a bicycle unit (F2 key), it has "Carry Rider" ability.

What gives? What am I doing wrong?

Would you mind sending me the campaign files, I will look into it?

EDIT-Actually the problem lies with the carry field, it has 16, which is carry rider, however it should have 16384 for carry bicycle!

The stock Finnish OOB has some issues, I fixed most of them but chose to create a new set of units as I tweaked with combat values as well. As I recall the original bicycles did not work at all (due to a wrong flag similar to what Mike noted above, they were rail cars in effect instead).

Some other issues were details such as Jaegers (j��k�rit, since you seem to be able to master the scandinavian "�"

)being portrayed as SMG platoons, which is not correct.

Having said that, so many original details were spot on, including the very ad-hoc form of Artillery units with the hodge-podge of makes and calibers due to military aid received during Winter War.
