NMRs and Civil Disorder
I'm new here can someone please explain how the NMR and CD rules work here. How many times can a power NMR before they go into CD. What happens to the game if one of the powers goes CD? Is it canceled, paused? What happens to your bet? Do you just get it back?

Are countries assigned randomly?
New to this site here, so sorry if this is answered elsewhere that I didn't find. Are countries assigned randomly when a game starts? (I'm noticing in the Championship Belt Game Series that xorxes always plays Austria and captainmeme always plays France, but have not found any setting for choosing a country or assigning preferences or anything.)

Uber is kind of cool
So, I dont actually plan to spend money. But I downloaded this cool app called uber. I think its like, taxi cabs or toy cars or something. But they move. They wiggle around and travel places on this cool map that looks a little like real life. I watched this one car strolling down a highway. This is neat. How do I take over one of these cartoon car thingys

Incomplete orders on the small preview map are a problem.
Not all orders (most notably support orders) are shown on the small preview map of a game and, especially in Gunboat, this is pretty problematic.

Axis & Allies general discussion thread
See title. I started playing it about a month ago. It's quite fun and a very different challenge from Diplomacy. I'm still getting my head wrapped around the editions, but I believe my group plays the "Classic" version (Spring 1942 start and there are no artillery, destroyers, etc.)

A friend and I are also working on a "present-day" version.

It "works" in the sense that that site is running, it is not down.

It does not work if you try to log in. When I logged in it took me to the normal webdiplomacy.net log-in page. When I logged in and returned to the "phpbb3" page, it still said I was a "guest".

Does that help?

Thanks, TrPrado. That is a serious missing feature. There is no way the mod team and I can function without the +1 feature.

Kestas, can you please make sure to turn on the +1 feature?

If you would like to have a +1 feature on the new forum, please +1 this post!!!!
We figured the report post feature could replace it.
Darn, I was rather looking forward to secretly retaining admin powers

kestasjk (95 DMod(P))

We can disable the ability for people to delete their own posts if need be, but from memory I think the default phpBB logic probably lets you delete up until someone else replies which is probably reasonable.

+1s can be added via existing phpBB3 extensions, of which there are many, but I want to replace the main forum with plain vanilla phpBB3 first and make sure the performance is okay before adding extra features.

By the way we'll also have to wait to migrate the posts in this forum over to the new forum, for the same reason. Your old posts won't be lost, and will be migrated over after we're sure everything is okay.
