All Ares bikeys were removed when we ran Achilles, because Ares is not a pre-req of Achilles.

Currently, the Ares bikey have replaced the Achilles bikey

Are you sure you are putting the module onto the unit symbol (ie the flag above the leader)

There is a general selection issue within Zeus, when the units are not "owned" by your client.  

When you spawn a unit with Zeus (both in SP and MP) the unit is owned by the Zeus player's client.  The unit is only moved to the server if and when the Zeus player DCs.  This is bad for two  reasons: the server has to use the lower speed network to the Zeus player's PC to control the units, and the skill levels of the units is influenced by the Zeus players difficulty settings.

To overcome these issues, and to facilitate headless clients, we run scripts to automatically migrate Zeus placed units to either the server or headless clients (when available).  So typically within a few seconds of you placing a unit, ownership is passed to the server/HC.

Not owning a unit sometimes causes issues where the units cannot be selected on the map screen, and you have to resort to selecting them on the menu on the left hand side.  This appears to be a Zeus issue, rather than Ares/Achilles
