what's the best paper to source on the issue? where did you (Nathan) get the "half of a row of buildings / wooden portico burned but the other half left standing"
I imagine you can collect grain from local independent suppliers and export it again from little more than a camp if needs must.
Certainly a valid point but it does mention "20 loads of provisions" and not grain which indicates a range of different goods - which may suggest that there was a substantial civilian trading infrastructure in place, certainly that this is no longer a military zone but a town that was able to feed itself enough to export goods elsewhere in the province.
