Does Bretonia perform Conscription?

[Fletcher]

So yeah, does Bretonia enforce conscription of civilians into the armed forces at the usual age of 18-24 years or something to keep their manpower pool up?

Also, do any of the Houses perform conscription for that matter, or are all the military forces considered 'Standing Professional Army'?

Bretonia does maintain a militia, but so far there has been no Conscription according to the rumors/infocards.

What's the word on a Militia? I've been considering funding one to keep my trader going with more enthusiasm, and I can get some more combat experience, but never be really on the front lines of war.

The militias are ground-based on Leeds. All space ships are part of the regular military.

Surely some patriotic and quickly trained civilian pilots could be organized into a scout wing?

By being trained, they'd become part of the military. So you'd be Secondary fleet.

Sort of like the Army Reserve for the U.S.

Maybe it would be like our Territorial Army then right?

Conscription has been all but abolished in the United States. Such is the state of modern warfare. Now try warfare a thousand years from now.

Yeah... no. Conscripts would be useless. It would take far too much training and specialization to make a drafted army even remotely useful in such circumstances.

[Dab]

If that's the UK's equivilant, then yes, probably.

Secondary Fleet (indies) are sort of a backup for the main army. They supplement us when our own numbers aren't enough.

I doubt that any of the Houses would conscript people. Right now, conscription isn't even implemented in the West, so naturally, I wouldn't expect any of the Western-based Houses to implement conscription. Kusari might implement it like most Asian nations, although right now, Japan doesn't implement it because of American intervention in the Japanese constitution following World War II.
