It would be nice to see an overlay for what the range of a military squad is especially when positioning archery squads.

essentially when the squad is selected blinking tiles will show up indicating that a unit in the squad can attack that square in their current position.

This would in fact only be relevant for archery squads (and siege weapons, I suppose). My main concern is that archery gets notably inaccurate even for skilled dwarves once you get more than ten tiles away or so, which is close enough that the overlay wouldn't really be any more useful than just eyeballing things.

The big problem is that dwarves will shoot at things that they have no real chance of hitting (given the relative speed of bolts vs. moving targets and the way inaccuracy works); thus, picking a reasonable "this is a good range" for your archers is tricky.
