	All statistics are rolled randomly and independently. So if you only want recruits with 60 TUs, you will retain 1 out of 11 recruits (9%). If you only want ones with 60 TUs and 70 FA, you'll only keep 1 in ~~351~~ recruits (0.28%; 1/11 * 1/31). Et cetera.		All statistics are rolled randomly and independently.

	As discussed [[Energy\|elsewhere]], '''initial''' TUs/3 (not total TUs after increases!) govern energy recovery on the battlefield. In other words, your raw recruit's TUs forever after determine how much energy they recover each combat turn. 50 recruit TUs means you recover 16 energy per combat turn; 60 TUs means you recover 20. This gives TUs more importance than you might expect, and makes 60 a pleasure to see.

	There are six sets of first and last names, each containing 20 first names and 20 last names. They are ostensibly American, British, French, German, Japanese, and Russian. Soldiers' first and last names are randomly chosen from a single set; thus, there are 2,400 possible unique names (20x20x6). No differences due to nationality, names, etc., have been observed - all stats appear to be entirely random. In each of the six name sets, five of the first names are feminine and the other 15 male; thus, one fourth of all recruits are female. Being female has absolutely no effect on stats or anything else in the game, except for the obvious graphics differences and death sounds.

	The [[Melee Accuracy]] stat is not shown in displays anywhere but it increases (and secondaries, too) if you use the stun rod. The programmers appear to have put it on the back burner for XCOM, but it does get used more in TFTD.
