A slow night down south, RB? Or, is it the mushrooms... As far as evaporated goes, I'm guessing that it is a verb descriptive of how he saw the unit losing all organizational cohesion and going from a "solid" unit to one that is no longer an obstacle in game terms. The men and some of the equipment may very well be "floating about" on the battlefield, but in a nebulous, scattered, dispersed state...like a gas. Reconstituted fits pretty well within that mental paradigm, as once this evaporated unit has had a chance to make it back to safety, or be reformed in the rear, its constituent parts coalesce, and reconstitute into a viable unit. In my opinion, making the terms changeable by the user is a silly request. Not only in terms of wasted coding time, but in terms of defining and describing the action within the manual and documents. The terms may seem a bit 'off' in military parlance, but they are familiar with the users, fairly descriptive, and not in any particular need of 'fixin'. But hey, it's a slow night, and you see, there was this thickening layer forming at the top of the pot...
