How would the game engine know where to place them? In Manual, the game engine knows to distribute them evenly on all spaces, but if you have 3 to deploy, and 14 territories, where will the game engine place them? If I was playing adjacent, and they were deployed way behind my front line, they would pretty much be considered useless to me.
You should probably be more careful and deploy your troops, instead of running out of time. You have an hour, it's not like people are shortened for time.

Your ISP lets you down as you start your turn - get nothing.

Fazeem wrote:okay I am definitely in the group that feels they should not just disappear but rather be either deferred or disbursed randomly. I know they are totally different game engines but on pogo they have risk and they just randomly disburse if you for some reason you do not place them. just my 3 cents on it lol
while I agree there are plenty of cheap tactics and tht may be one of them there is also a more significant problem of connectivity that cause delays and lost troops whether it is on the end of pc user, the isp or CC it results in game changers. Making the troops deferred or evenly disbursed makes It fair again. deadbeaters are given the benefit of the doubt and so should regular players.greenoaks wrote:waiting until the last seconds of your turn to make your move is a common tactic in Speed.
if you then find you are unable to deploy your troops, that is your bad luck.
