Leaders riding with non transport units.

Does the leader have to load and unload with these units in the same fashion as with a transport unit? And if so what prevents them from not riding on tanks? The rules really don't specify what additional units the leader can ride on only giving an example of a motorcycle unit.

There is a couple of parts to this question. First, leaders load/unload on transports/APC's the same way as combat units, 1MP for both transport/APC and unit. They can also load on a transport/APC with a combat unit. Second, riding on tanks is only specified in SSR's and even then limited to certain nationalities and units. If the SSR allows for this, then the leaders can ride on tanks. Third, leaders stacked with units like motorcycles move with there rate. This is a an exception to the leader only moving at 4MP. Finally, cavalry units will have units specially designated as cavalry leaders and they can move with or without a cavalry unit at 6mp.

I would also agree that it is not clear in the rules. I believe that the annotated rules have all of these in there.
