As implemented, you draw 3 cards, then discard 2 … and then draw another card as usual. That last bit should not be happening, it’s all part of the Recruiter effect. Otherwise, you end up with an increased hand size.

Just posting again re: Recruiter error.

From the original Battle Line rulebook (where this card — there the “Scout” — appeared originally):
“At the end of his turn, the player draws one card from either deck to refresh his hand to seven.”

Even the rule summary on BGA agrees:
“ **Draw a Card:** Draw the top card of the deck to replenish your hand. If the deck is empty, you continue playing without drawing cards.”

Unless someone changed the rules, which I do not think is the case, hand size should remain the same. So the Recruiter play should end your turn WITHOUT drawing a new card.
