My impression is that because those were ridiculously horrible places that they've stationed IS there to maintain order. Also, who said each line represented one IS only?

Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina. And that map presented in the episode, I don't think it represents the real distribuition of IS
Maybe it's prefence of the autor, or is the place where it's was first held. |

This is an anime discussion. Also Ichika's unit just underwent 1st shift, naturally implying more. You can figure out the rest. |

It's called a sniper unit, which leads me to expect that most of the units are armed with close ranged or melee combat weapons. As far as the ending: winning by technicality is still winning (even if it'd be a dirt nap for you as the real thing).

"grosso" is more like "important", something that's above the ordinary, so "great" or even "superb" would be more fitting (although "superb" is perhaps a bit too much again). Probably just because someone thought that it sounds cool According to the map, there aren't even IS in Italy. However, as the map doesn't show Germany and we know that there's a German representative, it's clearly inaccurate anyway. Yes... those IS being from other countries and being there only to keep down local riots would be the only thing that makes sense.

I think taking out a couple funnels would be a good sign of nice skills. It's not easy to hit those things; nobody short of an ace pilot has ever been able to nail them in Gundam.

I must say that not all your locations about the countries that they are in are correct as I said in a post back on page 53 (the first of the page) These are the CLOSEST to countries in which these bases are situated, I'm not hating or bashing here or saying that I know more about which bases they are, but I think mine lie closer to which countries they are in. Spoiler for Previous post page 53:
And maybe because I used a better picture, because the pic was Way to small I made a bigger screencap which is much clearer. (720P res.) I still don't know why they would put one in Ireland since they already have one in freaking england.... And about the 18 bases I think those are shared bases used by multiple countries since I supose not every country can have the resources to have a specialiced IS facility so they share them among fellow nations. |

While Norfolk is a possibility, the placement on the map seems to point more towards Washington DC as far as comparisons to other North American maps. As for Canada, as previously mention from another poster, it is definitely New Brunswick over Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is at the peninsula, while the IS map shows it as part of the inner continent. As for Madrid, yes, I was not looking too closely to that one. However, the bottom most location is most definitely not Paris. It is closer to Bordeaux. The middle one could be Paris, but you are probably right that it is Brussels. Of course, these are all based on the picture comparison with real maps. We probably won't know unless they start talking about it where the real locations are.

An even more direct homage to Gundam. (I haven't read the novels) (as I also pointed out earlier, bits were the first type of remote weapon used in Gundam; funnels became more widely used in the franchise later)

As usual, most of the cores went into "First World Countries" LOLOL
In the world of anime/manga.. only the 1st world and and 2nd world exists.. no such thing as a 3rd wolrd as in 3rd world countries.. you know the countries no one gives a damn about and/or usually ....enslaved by either the Capitalist Pigs or the Drunkard Commies..... LOLZ j/k ^ Anyways I'm kinda liking the anime.. so yah.. ^ Default mode?? and First Shifts? What are they?

there is really not that much of a difference between the two words, actually. Since they're mostly interchangeable. Only thing is, "grosso" usually refers to something "thick", "bulky", "fat"... maybe, that's the reason I saw it written as "grasso" (direct italian equivalent for "fat") in a certain sub. Whilst "grande" usually refers to something that's above the ordinary, like "great" or "important". Just wanna avoid the spread of mis-information. Oh, lol. Between this and Index 2 italy-trip, I'm having some very good laughs at all the italian-spoken-language in the anime I'm currently watching. No, Canberra is the recognized capital of the "Commonwealth of Australia". Although, Sydney is the largest city.

Default mode. Just like a company default settings and aren't configured yet.
But after the formal fitting. It enters first shift where. It's personally configured for the IS pilot. That's what I understand from the default mode and first shift.
