Not hosting until Thursday is fine. I've already played my turn, and I will be on a mini-vacation Wed-Fri. So I can play the next turn on the weekend.
I'm also at war with Patala (the first to go up against Patala before everyone else thought about joining in), and Marignon occasionally attacks the same provices I do (so far we're break even, each losing and winning the same amount). I mean there are 3 Patala provinces surrounded by Arco land and Marignon is trying to take them? He might have to watch what he's reaching for.
