Yes

Thanks! And autobroken units never rally either, even if above 50% of starting strength?

Sorry, if I'm missing the obvious: where can I find a list of variables/functions available for modding?

Like what programming language is being used?

As far as I can recall it is only "fixed" in the sense that all units have 200 LOS in the squads file, which equates to 20 squares LOS.

You should therefore be able to mod it by modding the LOS column in the squads file. (For epic battles it may be better to do it in the scenario script by modding each unit's LOS attrib).

Super: thanks!

And basically then only append the base game’s Squads file to the mod, with only change being that column?

In which folder of the mod then to put the Squads file? (I’ve never modded that file before.)

The main directory of your mod folder.
