How Do I Stop the Random Force Selection to Add/Change Units

In Skirmish mode, the Force Organization is almost completely RANDOM when it generates army unit choices.
For example, when I choose the Drake Slayers, and set my points limit to 5000, I get almost completely random units from one Skirmish to the next and often times they are under 4000 points total on Medium AcidWoods for example. Going back to the main menu and repeating a Skirmish selection randomizes the Force Organization so the units are never the same. And I say 'almost' completely random because it seems some heroes only show up in certain Army lists.
Now don't get me wrong, completely random and using what forces you have at hand is great fun, but for replayability I'd like to be able to create a mechanized army, or a footslogger army, or a Titan army, etc.
Specifically, what I would like to be able to do is field 3 Rhinos at the same time with 3 Landspeeders and a Whirlwind if I wanted to. Or anything else that is particular, like 3 Deff Dreads and a Gargant, but the randomness of what you get to choose from prohibits that.
So how do I fix it so I can get 5000 points of troops, not 3,980 when I've selected 5,000, or 10,000 points to choose from, and have more mechanized choices come up? What files do I need to edit?

It is in SanctusReach\Core\ArmyList.txt:
I suppose the number is related to the chance of getting each one proposed (and the amount you'd get for each).
I think it works as follow: you roll once for each number value you get or something like this (aka Grey_Hunter_Bolter1 5 => you roll 5 times so you get between 0 and 5).
I may be wrong, though, as I have not found the relevant script yet.

Well, I changed the Rhino from 3 to 9 and that didnt help me get anymore of them.
Basically, I want the Force Organization chart to go CRAZY with unit selections! I want three each of all the vehicles at least! Lets play a mechanized force, eh? Why does the FOC have to be so esoteric and random? I really hate that aspect of this game because we cant ever field lots of Titans or heavy vehicles.

You are right, I don't know what the values are for.
You can create a custom detachment, with limited unit selection, but then, it won't be filled most of the time.

can't see much modding stuff getting done until a guide is written and released
