is it legal to skip a turn on purpose in order to ensure a better position on ur next turn?

its frowned down upon

It is no different than people skipping turns in other games. Most think of it as cheap though. If you did that in games, I am sure you would be put on a few people's ignore list.

If you think it'll work. Note they can still attack you though.

i still dont see how you gain from it lol

Yes - this is perfectly legit, allowed and there is nothing wrong with using it. Remember though, you get NO extra armies, just those you would have recieved anyway, you may miss getting a card, other people may get their bonuses sorted before you and some rubbish players will 'frown' upon it and leave you negs to warn other rubbish players that can't adapt their own stratagies to new situations and will therefore stop playing you. i hope this rather long answer answers your question suitably. Good day to you. Rocketry

You may get no extra armies, but you get those armies all at the same time. That's a big deal. Suppose you can attack another player on two fronts. If you deploy to one of them, he can defend it better. If you then fort those armies to where you can attack the other front, he can fort his defending armies.

By not deploying, your opponent can't know where you'll attack. So he has to defend on both fronts. That's much harder to do.

It's not a legitimate strategy, because if it was there'd be an option to do it without holding the game up. I think it could be, if such an option was added, but it's debatable whether that would be an improvement or not.
