General Notes
SOLDIER.DAT has a fixed structure of 250 entries of 70 bytes each. (Only a maximum of 250 soldiers can be had). Thus it is always 17,500 bytes long (250x70).
Values are presented according to byte count (0 to 69) followed by the equivalent hex offset (00 to 45) in bold, followed by the normal (non-hacked) range of values in italics. Most fields can be hacked up to FF, but sometimes it can make for weirdness!
Unfortunately, this file is not conveniently ordered like Enemy Unknown's file so everything is just jumbled together.
