Just asking as this popped to my mind recently but have you considered changing what the interpretation of 2xx codes would be? So that

1-99 = 1-99 grunts, only
101-199 = 1-99 grunts and/or possibly a gun / mortar / big bulky thingy
201-249 = 2-98 grunts and/or possibly a vehicle

So for carry capacity > 200 the number of troops is 2*(carry-200). With big airplanes, hovercrafts etc the number of grunts could be rounded to an even number and live with it as the relative error would be rather low. However, as I have never seen the code, I have no idea if it would require tweaking in one place or if it would require tweaking in 2^16 places. If you think it would be too many hours invested and too little gained gamewise, feel free to wave it off with that.
