- The modern system of near-universal national conscription for young men dates to the French Revolution in the 1790s, where it became the basis of a very large and powerful military.

Why it is Rare

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 96 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
