question, cashing cards

[cscook]

i'm brand new to playing this game online (i have played a certain Hasbro military game though). I have never played freestyle before. If someone can tell me the following I would greatly appreciate it. I have 5 cards, as do 4 other players, I have to turn in on my next turn and we are playing an escalating game. Is it to my advantage to wait and go last so that the number of additional armies is greater OR does everyone who turns in for that turn get the exact same amount of additional armies despite the time that you turned the cards in assuming they are turned in on the same "turn" remember freestyle and escalating.
Thanks all,
The rookie

to answer your question, you'll get more armies the later you cash (in escalating). If this is the right strategy depends on the context...

The bonus increases each time a set is played, so being the last to cash in a set would net you the biggest gain.

I found this with a quick search http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=46996
