Platoon vs Deployment question
If you cant fill a platoon,Is it still wise to waste a toon there or just use him in the mass deployment attack...What gives more points?

Well, because of time zones....... We just hold deploys, if we tried do 3 phases timezones would make it impossible.
As others have said, you get deploy points when you either use or deploy a toon. If you deploy then use you don't get to double dip.
Anyway, if you know your guild can't fill a platoon then no point putting it there. Sure, you get points anyway so in that respect not wasted but be better waiting until deploy at end to see which tile needs the points most as it could end up locked to an area the points are not needed and the other one is just short and it costs you a star. Ok, pretty unlikely for one toon but they all add up.....
Anyway, no point doing it, at best it achieves nothing, at worst it is an inefficient use of GP and, while unlikely, could cost a star. Most of the time it will change nothing at all but still no upside unless anybody cares about individuals platoon contributions which I would hope they mostly don't.
