[Epic] (Final Liberation) Different Infantry Unit Stats ?

I've finally bought Final Liberation (it took ages before it could be found
here in Belgium), and I've been playing it a lot.
I have been snooping around in the .DAT files to see if I could 'easily' add
new units (it will take a loooong time before I can do that, but I'm
trying). I saw on Warboss Toad's Great Gargant page that several hacker
already made some programs to change different data files, so I thought
'This can't be too difficult...'.

When browsing through the unit data files, I noticed that the Tallarn are
the best infantry of the 3 IG types :

Mordian Tact. : 1 Lasgun, 40% to hit
Catachan Tact. : 1 Lasgun, 40% to hit
Tallarn Tact. : 2 Lasguns, 40% to hit (more guns !)

Mordian Ass. : 1 Pistol/Sword, 40% to hit
Catachan Ass. : 1 Pistol/Sword, 50% to hit (more accurate !)
Tallarn Ass. : 4 Pistols/Swords, 50% to hit (more accurate guns !)

The Heavy Weapons Infantry are all the same.

Mordian Capt. : 4 Pistols/Swords, 50% to hit
Catachan Capt. : 4 Pistols/Swords, 50% to hit
Tallarn Capt. : 4 Pistols/Swords, 60% to hit (more accurate !)

I was just wondering if these differences would be an error or intentional
(the computer always chooses Tallarns !)

The things you do to pass the time on busride to/from work : gazing through
hexdumps... Only because I want a Blood Axe clan who can use those nasty
Leman Russes...
