I believe we can use this rectangle for the area-effect we look for in artillery fire.
If we could de-hard-code the rectangle size, full mod and testing would be successful in short-medium period (and much much easier). Unfortunately, if this rectangle depends on tgt type and not on ammunition type (including muskets), this is somehow a tough problem to solve but it's counterbalanced somehow by the artyammo files where you can define the % of casualties.

Is it possible to add rectangles to generals, couriers and supply wagons, is the presence of this rectangle that builds the entity of a target in the battlefield?

Also, I haven't seen answer on my question regarding the unit sprites numbers and the number of ranks issue.

As GShock said, if the size and % hittable could be moved from the code and into a table, this might be a way to solve the area effect issue with arty fire. Do these variables depend on ammo type? In other words, are the rectangle size and % hittable different for say, musket ball, solid shot, shrapnel, etc.?
