Sealion '40 OoB anomalies

RE: Sealion '40 OoB anomalies
My problem with the base game OOB is the use of German bicycle battalions in every regiment.. I guess it was done to give the Germans greater mobility but, technically all WW2 infantry divisions had access to motorised transport in order to advance elements before the marching main body. Except in the case of a German invasion of England in 1940 where they would have to wait several days (unlikely given Royal Navy response) for motorised supply columns to be shipped in. Bicycles wouldn't actually offer much speed advantage over the British home guard with plenty of access to civil automobiles. So, the opposite set of mobility would have been true and the Germans would have to slug it out slowly on their march to London.
Sealion '40 OOB should have been more balanced to begin with. The base game is overwhelmingly in favor of Germany I think while Volcanoman probably tried to lower those qualities.
