So your saying that the time of day really isn't important at all, merely the active times of the attack group? So if I hypothetically put together an attack group that was made of all US players, if we wanted to do gal raids in the US morning, so around 15:00 GMT, it would make no difference on our effectiveness then if we launched at what seems to be the accepted attack time right now of 4-6 GMT?

While some allies certainly do this, is 24/7 raiding really effective? I don't have any numbers, but I would suspect that a constant stream of attacks would not really be effective. It might make sense to scatter raids over a wider range of times, that way to catch players who either couldn't launch at the normal times, or had to recall. I tend to believe that constant random incomming is not particularly effective as it is better to overwhelm defenses all at once when there are a limited number of players online then it is to scatter things out over a longer period of time.
