Each player has just received returns for men present and absent as of Sunday morning (January 5th). Those absent are all currently in field hospitals being tended by regimental surgeons, hospital stewards and local volunteers. Over the next week, some of those men will be returned to their regiments, some may die, some may be discharged from service and some may be transferred to a district hospital. This is all determined by random rolls for each regiment, influenced by where the regiment has been encamped and the weather.
By the next Sunday of the campaign, additional men will have fallen sick and entered the field hospitals, as well as any wounded men if there is fighting. By the following week, men will also start returning to the regiments from district hospitals. The strength of each regiment shall fluctuate throughout the campaign, even if it is never engaged.
Sickness and casualties are recorded down to company level. Although this may not affect game play, if a company or battalion is detached, it will reflect the actual strength at the time of detachment.
