I'm imagining its probably not possible - but just wanted to check what it might entail to do so? (probably adding a code link to a dead dude png or something for a million units hehe)
Not possible/practical. Each & every one would use up a unit slot in the spare space (if any). Or more practically a new overlay space for corpses, and since a section could spawn 13 (19?) stiffs in that many separate places, a lot of storage space required, and a way larger save game file for .... what precisely?

One of the totally irritating things about the old "Arnhem" games by Microsoft back in the 90s (Close Combat?) - dead bodies all over the shop lying in puddles of bright red blood, with voices howling over and over "das blut!, das blut!" (or something like that). Gah!...
