Will the Bicyclists ever be downgraded in F40?

RE: Will the Bicyclists ever be downgraded in F40?
I've heard about this heroic stand. One unit, in a good position, did a nice job. What about the rest of them? Should all units get a 14 assault factor because one company did a good job? I don't know. All I know is, and I've said this before, those bicyclists are, on May 10, strategic weapons of the first order, with high mobility and combat factors, just about as good as the best German mechanized infantry. You like it that way, you got it. von ege Eek

"There is a book about this topic but I don't have it. I founded this:

ROMMEL AND GUDERIAN AGAINST THE BELGIAN CHASSEURS ARDENNAIS: THE COMBATS AT CHARBREHEZ AND BODANGE 10 MAY 1940
Georges Hautecler, S,O,

This is a translation of a post-WWII Belgian staff study on the heroic stand of the Belgian bicycle troops in the Ardennes as they faced the armored might of Rommel and Guderian. Read how a single Belgian company stopped Rommel's advance cold for six hours."
