Japan 45 Glitch

[Mowgli]

I just want to make sure this is not an oversight?

In scenario #45_1208_1 "Japanese Counterattack - Take Sendai", playing as the Japanese, the HQ of the 206th Division (Hex 28,11) cannot be moved off the hill. You get the error message "Unit cannot move from terrain". I suppose that it's because the HQ is equipped with bicycles which are not allowed to enter (or move from) "rough" terrain without a road. Unfortunately, as it is a HQ unit, you cannot order it to leave the bikes behind ("go on foot"). So the HQ is stuck on the hill for the whole game, which is a pretty big handicap for the Japanese (supply/being in command is essential!).

PS: Even worse, you can put the unit into travel mode, but not back into deployed mode. So I'm stuck with a command range of 7 instead of 10. :(

Is this working as intended?

----------------------

Also, certainly not a glitch but a design decision: How come the Japanese infantry has excellent anti tank capabilities (hard fire 8/1; also used in melee) while the Americans really depend on anti tank guns and tanks of their own (hard fire 2/1)? I have not found any explanation in the design notes on this. Just curious.
