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.

Bo’s 20 was terrible. There was that girl, Maggie, beautiful. She loved him and bo loved her. They were together for about 8 months and all was just so happy. But then one day he came home and found her in bed with ghug. It was tragic, his heart broke. How could someone he loved so much hurt him so bad. The last 4 months of that year he wallowed in sadness until brainbomb, in an attempt to raise bo out of his funk, invited him out to celebrate bo’s birthday. The big 21! In the US that’s the get smashed birthday. Well he did and he was having a good time he even wound up with a girl named Shawna. She was magic for him and really made him happy but to bo’s surprise when he woke up from his drunken night of fun and looked over to Shawna his heart sank. She was a he. And his name was actually Shawn.

TL;DR : Bo doesn’t like 20 because that year was tragic for him.

Roy: My father took these. He was a maniac for the camera.
That's me.That's Felipe and Nando.
That's Alex Morales, he died instantly.

That's Antonio, captain of the team.
After 20 years, you analyse a lot.
You remember people, heroism.
"The Miracle of the Andes",
that's what they called it.
Many people come up to me
and say that had they been there,
they surely would have died.
But that makes no sense.
Because untiI you're in a situation like that, you have no idea how you'll behave.
To be affronted by solitude without decadence,
or a single material thing to prostitute it
elevates you to a spiritual plane... where I felt the presence of God.
There's the God they taught me about at school...
And there is the God that's hidden by what surrounds us
in this civilisation. That's the God I met on the mountain.

Lilenna: Could you get me some tea?
Flight Attendant: Yes, maam

Flight Attendant: (To Roy) Want some tea?
Roy: No, thanks.

Alex: Come on! Give me the ball!

Roy: Watch out!

Alex: What the fuck Suarez, biting people again?
Suarez: Excuse me, I got carried away!

《《Boarding Uruguayan Flight 571 nonstop to Peru》》
Lillenna: Where did you stay in Paris? (Putting bags in overhead bin)
Canessa: Near the Arc De Triumphe
Flight attendent: (Trying to get around a passenger) Excuse me, please.
Roy: Paris is not for you, Canessa.
Canessa: Why not?
Roy: You're too intense.
Canessa: How can I justify that to the guys?
Roy: Justify what?
Canessa: That I get to travel so much and they all sit at home. Like Alfonso, he never gets off the couch.
Roy: He missed practice every week.
Lilenna: He's OK.
Canessa: He missed the plane too.

Roy: I'm team captain. I'll say what's OK. If you want to play in a rugby team,
you have to give 100%. Right?

Flight Attendant: Everybody to the right of the plane so we can continue boarding please

Roy: Let's get it.
Canessa: Let me get in.
Roy: Go on.


《《《9 hours later》》
Child: Mama, look.
Lilenna: What?
Child: The mountains are so beautiful.
Lilenna: Don't make me look.
Child: They look like big teeth.
Roy: We'll land in 20 minutes.
Lilenna: (holding her stomach) Good. Let's talk about something
else.
Roy: Have a chocolate.
Lilenna:Thank you.

Alex: (looking out window) It's clouding up a bit.
Felipe: Just stay above the weather. Eh?
Alex: shouldnt be an issue for a trained pilot right?
What's more important to you?
Felipe: Rugby or girls?
Alex: Girls. You?
Felipe: Girls.
Alex: But when I'm playing, it's rugby. (Clutching his arm weirdly)
Felipe: say whats up with that Arm?
Alex: Right. Its nothing
Felipe: I wanna see the Andes, move
Alex: Hold on
Felipe: Come on, switch seats.
Alex: I want to see the mountains too dude.

Flight Attendant: (Interrupting) Don't climb on the seats, OK?
Roy: Watch yourself you two...

It's flavour, Oztra. I'm guessing the flavour for this game is that all the players are the survivors of a plane crash in the mountains, trying to survive until rescue arrives.

I was checking the rules that Brain posted and found no PRs and no setup info.

Or can we expect some more setup details at game start?

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.
