No hard game data is used for the influence calculation, it is not as such recorded in the savegame.
At least not that I know. If it was in there I would have used it.

Instead it's a very simple heuristic where for each hex a blue and red influence value is calculated and the highest value wins.

Each blue and red unit contributes to the total blue and red influence value, with modifiers for distance, unit readiness
and relative height difference.

The frontline is basically the edge between the blue and red influence zones.

As I said it is caluclated based on data in the savegame:
the battle does not have to be concluded, nor do you need savegames for all the turns of the battle.

Quick note: unit readiness is also a synthetic value, there is no such thing in the savegame data.

The calculation of the unit readiness is based on:

/*
 * A unit's readiness is influenced by:
 *    damage        more damage means less readiness
 *    headcount     less available effectives means less readiness
 *    suppression   more suppression means less readiness
 *    abandonment   means total loss of readiness (-100%)
 *    crew          means significant reduction of readiness (-90%)
 *    status        additional readiness reduction
 */

The suppression impact is calculated by deducting the unit's suppression from its morale: (morale - suppression) / morale.
The result is capped at zero, so that it cannot become negative.
