Re: Attrition..
Except supply wagons don't have an area effect for morale on the battlefield. That's just absurd! Are the soldiers near the wagons nipping off for a cornetto in the middle of a battle and so a little better prepared to stick around?

Re: Attrition..
'twas just an idea...
I know it is impossible to reflect a real atmosphere of battles on an game engine with lots of limitations......
what ı meant was, warrior class is useless, unless a logistic unit manage to keep them alive.
In a roman legion, they had engineers, doctors, scouts, cooks, and many non-combatants.
But this is a game we have no chance to add every realistic feature.

Re: Attrition..
The light and fast-moving warband types typically got off pretty well just by carrying their snacks, and pillaging the countryside for the rest, AFAIK...
Logistical arrangements are more an issue of *strategic* stamina; that is, how long the army can be kept assembled in the field before it starts getting hungry, of course assuming it can't plain "live off the land" ("a polite euphemism for some very rude activities", as one historian drily noted).
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Well he *was* writing in a very different military context...

Re: Attrition..
If you know yourself, and your enemy you will be victorious in each battles you fought,
If you know yourself, but not your enemy you will gain one victory after one defeat,
If you do not know your enemy even yourself, you are destined to lose every battle...
a bad translation but It has a huge relevance methinks,
on the other hand;
