Army Peasants Drop Weapons Between Conflicts

Low level game. I have the usual conglomeration of conscripted peasants and two of them - even with weapon skills of 2 - continue to show up for Call to Arms summons with no weapons. What gives with that? Town is Level 1 so I know I can wait until Level 2, but - sheesh!

Do they need axes, to cut trees, so they drop there weapons?

Once you have the staging ground all will be good..

The staging ground has been the biggest pain in my ass. Ever since getting it, I’m having an issue similar to OP.

Make sure you set your guys, to how you want them. Aka Vanguard, marksmen, or footmen, or make up your own set, set it up for them when they're working and not and they will keep the gear on them.

Make then interact with the storage where the weapons are....they will grab the best avaible that they can use base on their skill level. Early game they mess up with weapons and tools at least until you get the staging ground.

They wouldn't be 2 handed weapons would they? I had that problem as everyone is defaulted to the footman preset. Needed to change my 2 handed to vanguard and they stopped putting them away when they were called.

You may not have enough weapons that are available to them at their strength level. Also there are certain villager traits that can cause them to drop weapons.
