Eliminate Deferred Troops [REJECTED]

The counter to that is since he wasn't able to attack you on the turn that he missed you could have used your turn that round to either preemptively increase your defenses on that border or make potentially valuable gains elsewhere. So, unless you get dice screwed or fail to anticipate or opponent's return from his absence you should be just a prepared for your opponents attack, or even more so, than you would had he not missed that turn.

those are wise words. it's a pity so many don't understand the advantages to be gained by others missing turns.

So missing turns should not give you troops for the previous missed turn.. cuz what's the point in showing up for your turn until you need to without getting kicked out, plus it slows down games.. just a thought

that is a fantastic rule to have ............ if we were all sitting at your dining room table. but we are not. we are spread out all over the globe with no way of knowing when our turn will commence.

Hmm true.. okay if you miss two straight or something? Or at least in speed games

If you miss three turns in a row, you are removed from the game, and therefore won't get deferred troops.

ok.....
What about people that can't help missing their turn (lets say their power goes off for two days like mine did last week)?
And they don't actually get twice the troops, they get the same amount of troops they would have if they had taken their turn.

You've missed over 300 turns, how often does your power go out??

I just played a Battle Royal where a couple of players deliberately missed their second and even third last turn in order to surprise drop troops at the end and win. In round limited games it can happen. One guy missed 4 non-consecutive turns; whatever the reason, he shoulda been kicked. I totally agree there should be harsher penalties for missing your turn. In certain games the opportunity isn't always there to take advantage of the absence ( trench; bad dice), but next turn the tardy player gets to drop more than his turn would normally allow. He missed the turn, he should miss those troops. Period.

Another one ... MERGED. Please see the OP and the 50+ pages of posts to read all about this. I hate to discourage posting, but I'm not sure that it is possible that anyone could have anything new to add on this subject.
