Recruitment question

[FM WarB]

I've been following the threads related to the following question with interest.
Are any volunteers in 1861 recruited for three months, one year or finally three years, as they were historically? This did cause some re-up issues, when terms ran out.
As a side note, the total numbers of soldiers figures, for both sides in the war are somewhat inflated as many men are double counted, or more due to fraudulent bounty signing/deserting/re signing up.

Your free volunteer brigades and any volunteers call for will serve throughout the war. Conscripts too.

Yes, all troops raised serve throughout the war. I don't know if this little issue could be addressed in a way that would allow the game to remain playable and not frustrating, but I'm sure the team explored it.

IIRC we added a small chance that a volunteer disband at the end of each year, to represent (very leniently) this fact. But this would be a major frustration for the player, and a real problem for the AI, to have units disappears regularly from the rosters.

There are a few of the CSA "free" volunteers than are deployed on the early months of the april campaign (i.e. the units 7 ATT / 12 DEF) than un-mobilize around the end of 1861.

I suspect, all of the volunteers -> 7/12 than are lucky enough to UPGRADE to Militia (9/14) before the specified data remain in the game, while some of the others get disbanded.

I am sorry but dont know exactly the whys. Just a few if them usually are disbanded (perhaps 5 or 6 maximum).

EDIT-> Pocus hurried and gave the reason!

I think there is an event late in the war that removes conscripts companies form the USA to represent all the 3 years recruits going home at once.
