[Alexander Seil]

If there are n supplies in a province and x of them are being consumed, the number of starving units should, really, be more than x-n. I suppose it should be more of an exponential growth thing (logically, at least). Obviously, a commander can't just say "Ok, we only have 50 loafs of bread and 70 men, hence 20 won't get to eat today" -- rather, supplies would be equally distributed, causing wholesale starvation at a point where the average ration reduction becomes dangerous to one's health.
