This file likely records whether an X-COM base has been targeted for alien retaliation purposes.

This file likely records whether an X-COM base has been targeted for alien retaliation purposes. Total file size is 48 bytes and since the number of bases is limited to 8, this would suggest that each record is 6 bytes long (most likely 3 2-byte entries per record). Darkfred claims each record is only 4 bytes in length but that seems rather strange considering the base cap.

0-1 Unknown. Have seen a value of 4 here. Possible pointer into LOC.DAT?
