Hello Mike,
I've tried to run games without the need of a deadline. But my experience
as a GM and as a player also is that it won't work well. Players needs
most of the time a fixed day or time to send in there orders and
recieving their turns. Just because of this regular schedual the game
is running much more smoothly.

Just my own opinion,
Bram
