Elaine & GwinBlade
Hey Gwin, I’ve been mapping out supply chain efficiencies for siege scenarios—thought we could compare a lean, modern approach with your strict medieval logistics. What do you think?
I appreciate the spirit, but a true siege isn’t a spreadsheet. Every wagon, horse, ration, and march‑order is measured by a code older than your modern lean tools. Let’s see if your numbers can stand up to the rigor of a seasoned squire’s plans.
Alright, Gwin, bring the old code and the wagon logs. I’ll run the numbers and show you where the gaps are. Bring it on.
Here are the logs, each marked with the precise day, horse count, and rations—no spreadsheet needed. Let me know where your numbers falter.
Got it. Drop the raw data here—day, horses, rations, and any burn rates you’ve tracked. I’ll crunch it and point out the weak spots. Let’s get those numbers straight.
Day 1: 12 horses, 12 packs of bread, 6 liters of water, burn rate 1.2 liters per day per horse
Day 2: 12 horses, 12 packs of bread, 6 liters of water, burn rate 1.1 liters per day per horse
Day 3: 12 horses, 11 packs of bread, 5.5 liters of water, burn rate 1.3 liters per day per horse
Day 4: 12 horses, 11 packs of bread, 5 liters of water, burn rate 1.4 liters per day per horse
Day 5: 12 horses, 10 packs of bread, 4.5 liters of water, burn rate 1.5 liters per day per horse
Day 6: 12 horses, 9 packs of bread, 4 liters of water, burn rate 1.6 liters per day per horse
Day 7: 12 horses, 8 packs of bread, 3.5 liters of water, burn rate 1.7 liters per day per horse
Day 8: 12 horses, 7 packs of bread, 3 liters of water, burn rate 1.8 liters per day per horse
Day 9: 12 horses, 6 packs of bread, 2.5 liters of water, burn rate 1.9 liters per day per horse
Day 10: 12 horses, 5 packs of bread, 2 liters of water, burn rate 2.0 liters per day per horse
