Plan accordingly??? Really? Are you serious with that? Do you honestly feel that because you choose to spend money on this game that somehow you know the ins and outs better? Everyone is making the point that they did plan accordingly. We were auto matched. The last war went immediately to the battle screen from the previous. Several people are reporting the same thing. As has been said, we had to declare several times to actually have it "stick". The second to last war I had to declare three times. It shows in the forum me declaring three times in a row...at the same time. Possibly the declare button got stuck. But it never showed it as declaring when it did, and it didn't happen at any other point in the event....oh yeah, and according to the game screen, we fought 120 some odd battles.
