Re: 3rd Missle
I've been in 1 game that ended up being a draw. We were way too evenly matched neither one of us could do anything but stick the pads and keep holding... It was the LONGEST match I ever had. I was relieved when it came up draw - as there was no end in sight.
My point being - you don't want a draw - if I had to deal with one or two draw a day I'd quit. You want to win, or lose, pretty quickly and move on. I'm sure the third missile speed-up is to allow whichever side is surging to now win rapidly and not waste any more time.
