There's a good series of blog posts about this. [1] In particular I took away the idea that a bigger army needed more wagons (and donkeys, horses, cooks etc) and was NOT necessarily always more effective. There is a natural limit to the size of an army based on the logistical capabilities of the time. This is one of the reasons why modern warfare gets really large scale and awful. Lots of good details about foraging. Having played a lot of D&D over the years I always tended to ignore the logistics beyond bringing a 10 foot pole and a 50 foot rope into the dungeon.
