It could be helpful, to explain some terms in the "Data/Squads"excel file, like "Cover LOS" or "view flags" and so on, for modders or modding beginners!

I don't think I quite understood Cover LoS either.

It's how far the unit will see units that are in cover. That is, inf will see units in cover from a tile or 2 away, but tanks will never see units in cover.

Basically the radius around which the unit sets the tile LOS to 1, rather than 2 if in cover.

I'm also not sure on what causes a unit to bog down. I see a puma has a whopping 50% chance to bog down. But doesn't seem to get stuck that much when running around the desert.

It seems to be random. When I least expect it and need that unit somewhere else.

My guess would be that it is affected by the terrain etc, but I would need to check out the script to be sure.
