"Conscripts" - this is used as the basic manpower unit, i.e. the cost in men to raise a unit. But the game also speaks of training conscripts into regular soldiers, so conscripts must also be a type of unit. Which one - militia?
"Militia" - partly these seem to represent state militia, since their state of origin is indicated on the unit (and I understand fighting in the home state gives them a bonus). But the infantry NATO symbol with the "M" is also given to
"Volunteers" - these are the units I raise under the "militia" tab of the recruitment screen. I would suppose that these are the basic building blocks of the volunteer armies. But then what confuses me is that
"Regulars" also lists infantry units with their state of origin. So are these, too, volunteers? Historically, regulars would be the standing army, i.e. the regiments with a "U.S." designation. But these can't even be raised in the game. So I suppose "regulars" are state volunteers in the Federal army. So if the games says conscripts are trained into regulars, does it in fact mean militia is called in the Federal service?
Are militia = conscripts = volunteers?
Thanks!
