If you are laying siege to an enemy town and there is 1 turn left before its supplies run out and you end the turn, they will either sally forth and attack your besieging forces, or simply 'surrender' without a fight... If it is you they are besieging, then you have to sally forth before that last turn runs out, otherwise your forces will 'surrender' and you'll lose the whole army and family member, as well as the town.
Also, using a full stack still poses a challenge. Roman troops can only be retrained in Italy, so the challenge is getting them back to retrain them and getting new troops to the front. Also you can just limit the number of legions you have, like an ironman rule. But EB is challenging even when you use full stacks.
