The last 192 bytes of track 18 sectors 8-14 are not part of any template - they are a fragment of 6502 code left in the mastering machine's memory. Disassembled it is an EARLIER version of printOptionsList ($19F3 in the shipped build): it sets a text window at column $0C rows 9-$12 with colour $61, prints a string at $CAB2, tests $92CD and $0881, prints $6610, checks the link flag $E03B, prints $6698 and $CA53, then falls into a film-slot routine that writes $91D5/$91D6/$91D7, calls $C097, $5F41, $1205 and jumps to $1648. The shipped build keeps the same flags at $0B94-$0BA8 and the same strings at $CC.. instead of $0876../$66.., so this code is from a different (older) build. At run time the area is unitCol[0..99] ($F640) and unitRow[0..99] ($F6A4), and startGameSession deliberately stores $FF into $F640 before calling loadUnitStartTemplate so the copy always happens. (confidence: high that it is leftover code, medium on which build)" ] } } }
