Default Food Supply and the Enormous Cauldron of Broth
I'm presently playing a SP game and I have a small army consisting of:

7 human leaders
25 hypaspists
9 elephants

Assuming 3 units of food required for the elephants and 1 for the humans (is that correct?) the food requirements for this force should be 59. With the Enormous Cauldron of Broth my supply requirements should then be 9. In a province with a supply production of 6 I should only be short about 3 units of food, right? That would leave one elephant or three human-sized units to starve.

The supply usage listed for my army in that province is 27, and many of my units are starving. There's something I obviously don't get about supply. Can anyone illustrate what I might be doing wrong?
