I went ahead and ran a test. I modified Bolt 1.02b and added a British BEF transport fleet (as shown below, note the type = 13016 designating it as a British unit) to the french OOB at the start of the scenario. When war started and the British began allocating land units to France as normal, this fleet transported them and actually allowed them to join the fight. Well, in one test the AI decided they could be put to best use by defending Tahiti, but they usually went to France where they could do some good. It was actually nice to see 8 British divisions manning the French line instead of sitting around in the English countryside with a French flag at their side. Anyway, it might not be the most elegant fix, but until the AI learns to allocate transports mod'ers might want to consider this approach.
Added to French OOB under Bolt 1.02b:
navalunit = {
id = { type = 13016 id = 313 }
name = "BEF Transport Flotilla"
location = 502
control = "ENG"
division = {
id = { type = 13016 id = 314 }
name = "BEF Transport Flotilla (A)"
type = transport
strength = 100.000
}
division = {
id = { type = 13016 id = 315 }
name = "BEF Transport Flotilla (B)"
type = transport
strength = 100.000
}
port = 502
}
