One question...

Well, I have a German armored infantry company as my primary core unit in my campaign and I have to load the troops in the half-tracks in every deployment. I've gotten pretty efficient at it now and here's an example of loading a line platoon. I put the troops in a line and then the vehicles in a line (E0 - E2 and then E3 - E6 as an example) right next to the troops. I then reselect the first troop unit to load (E0), press "L" and then click on the track I want to load it into (usually E3). I then repeat for the other two units and so on for the other platoons.

Hitting the "D" hot key to load all units on the nearest transport is a not a good idea if you want to know where your units are. I accidently did that a while back and had a fun time trying to find all the unit of a formation and then try to straighten it out. I had to move all them around to be near each other for command and rallying purposes; a big plus once contact is made.
