I've fought 3 wars where I had over 100 deploys pending for over a minute when it ended. Those deploys would have won us nodes if they had counted on two occasions.
This seems to be a problem on my iPad, which has the new version. Deploys on my iPhone go out fast, it is still running the old version. I've adjusted my play so I deploy with the new version first and finish off with the other game. That way if the deploys hang I can exit the game and restart.
