Sorry everyone, but I'm going to have to kindly ask for another 24 hour delay for this turn.
The micro with Ermor has now got to the stage where if I want to do a decent turn, I need to spend about four hours shuffling my 5-6k of chaff around. Which with a 48 hour schedule basically means having to spend roughly two hours on this game every evening. And finding that sort of free time each day isn't always possible

Fighting in 4-5 wars also adds to the required thinking time
I won't ask to increase the schedule yet, but I would humbly ask for forgiveness in advance if I need to ask for delays more often than not.
