With the new update with the saved layout for the war, on the preparation day you can put any layout, and 2 minutes before the end of preparation day you switch to your Real base layout.
The real reason for the preparation day is the fact that not everyone in the clan stays in the same timezone. Some may have to prepare well in advance, while some can prepare right before the war.

also my camps cannot hold 250 wizz for donations. i am the main donator(no elixir upgrades left and maxxed troops) so there is no way i can fill all the cwc's instantly. we need prep day. possibly shoten it to maybe 12 hours or so but we still need it.
Exact same strategy I plan on using in my clan. Rather than give them 48 hours to check bases out give them 24. End of the day at very least we force attackers who were planning to hit in early hours of war and had armies trained to rethink their army or go in as is. I think prep day should be shorter and have always thought this. Seriously.....24 hours to fill clan castles? Cut it out. Literally.
Nop we still need this day to fill cc :/
We've usually got all the war castles filled within 30 minutes of the start of prep day. Rest of the time is usually for deciding who will attack which base. This won't be possible once everyone wises up to switching to a dummy layout for prep day, but it'll be easy stars on war day against the players that forget to revert back from comedy prep day layouts ;)
the 24 hours isnt just for filling cc's. keep in mind this is a global game. the 24 hours allows for clans that have members in different time zones to coordinate.
to coordinate what? after a short time there will be only dummy bases on the prep day, and you will need to to coordinate on the battle dayQuote:

They will not change anything. 24hr is perfect because of different timezones, it's amazing how some cant fathom this.

You can change during the prep day! but if you cnage during the battle day the change will only apply for the next CW
If anything I wonder why we can't fill our cc's before the war search occurs. This could eliminate prep day completely since a base scouting/building day would be useless. One button could lock in the roster so it would know what players were in war. Then once castles are filled the search could be started by leader and immediately progress to 24 hour battle day. Just a thought
It's not that bad really. Still have 24hrs to scout

Looking at the enemy won't be much good anymore. Who's going to show their real base?Quote:

Ok, a couple points: first, it's going to stay 24 hours whether we like it or not. Some clans do need the full time (people on the forums are way more active than most casual players), plus Supercell doesn't seem to like listening to broadly requested for war (*cough* opt-outs *cough*). Second, prep day will undoubtably be less useful, but that doesn't make it useless. Figuring out who to attack before battle day will be tougher, but if you see a th 9 with level 5 air defenses, drags are probably going to be a good bet no matter what their setup is.
Since we are unlikely to get big changes for prep day, I propose a small one (already mentioned in another thread): have people lock in their war bases a few hours before prep day ends (I like 6, but that's just me) to make prep day slightly more useful. Now that we can edit war bases outside of prep day, I think a lock-in option would be fairly feasible.

Agreed the whole strategy thing goes out the window, but you still need time to fill all the war cc's ... Prep day is here to stay i bet.
