Ah, THIS old debate again...:)  My personal opinions on this
topic aside, your statement is incorrect in so far as it relates to
Hyborian War.  Hyborian War is set in ancient times, say early Roman
Republic?  That's the closest analogy I can come to.  Any road, logistics
have very little bearing on an army's actual ability to fight beacuse you
have to spend three months (1 turn) building up supplies (called readying
the invasion train) before you can go in.
	Of course, it helps that, in the rules, it is quite clearly
stated that Military Command is the primary characteristic that will
influence a general's ability to control his army.
