Non host players are unable to select America and Cuba when the host has enabled No Yuri/No France AND there are random selectors added via INI file. In the case of YR, those random selectors are "Allied" and "Soviet". This causes an offset of "2" when selecting your side in the issue as described below.
This is because those "disallowed side" settings (like No Yuri/No France) in their INI files (in addition to coop maps and game modes) do not account for random selectors that come from other INI files.
The result is that the non-host player selects America, the host receives the message, but discards it, because it's viewed as a disallowed side, then sends a message back to all players on current game settings, which includes the non-host player's old selected side. The non-host player then receives that message and gets "reset" back to whatever they were before they selected America.
IE:
Non-host player sends side index "3" when selecting America, but the host receiving the message will see side index "3" as France when determining "disallowed sides."
Non-host player sends side index "10" when selecting Cuba, but the host receiving the message will see side index "10" as Yuri when determining "disallowed sides."
Reproduction Steps:
(requires two human players)
have one human player host a game and enable "No Yuri/No France" option
have second human player join game and attempt to select Iraq
verify host sees second human player change to Iraq
have second human player change to America
verify host does NOT see second human player change to America
