Though stepping back and doing nothing for a few days can then mean that your enemy gets the unfair advantage instead. For example, if an OOC ceasefire is called while someone has a takeover in progress... It's not fair for them to stop the takeover, and it's not fair (due to the OOC ceasefire that is agreed to) for the other realm to attack them to stop it.

Best bet with any of it (unless it is a clear abuse that would be going on) is just to continue as usual and sort out any strangeness in game and in character. One side will always be losing out otherwise. As Alex said, that time can be spent refitting, repairing, training, etc, meaning that one of the armies at least is in a much stronger position than they would otherwise have been.
