Military Logistics in Ancient and Medieval Warfare

>Can anyone think of other logistics-based narratives (LBN [tm])?
The one that springs to mind is "The Invasion". The planning, the reconnaissance, the build-up, contact, change in plans... results...
It is sort of done in D&L Eddings "Castle of Wizardry" when Ce'Nedra raises an army to aid Belgarion's approach on Torak.

I hate to necro the thread, but this seems like a useful discussion. Too many authors tend to neglect logistics.

As far as logistics-based narratives, The Lost Fleet series is pretty good, though it's science fiction and not fantasy. It's based on Xenophon's Anabasis, so you could probably translate that into a fantasy setting easily enough.
