Thanks for the data and link.
Taking out Nybar means eliminating the best of Wyrshym's army without the rest having a clue how it was done, demoralizing those who know; 'because if those guys didn't have a chance, we're toast' will spread no matter what the command [and inquisition] orders kept quiet.
The garrison at Esthyr's Abbey of 4500 men requires some 33.75 tons of food per 5day, or 5 dragon wagon loads every 20 days, plus at least the same if not double or triple that number of dragons for coal or fuel wood [from the description they were running out of local trees quickly], plus cooking oil, fodder [up to ~20 wagon loads for the 3 remaining cavalry regiments], ammunition and clothing etc for roughly up around 44 dragon wagon loads every 4 5days, and BGV may have scheduled his attack just after the last arrival and departure; or possibly before departure, depending on your judgement of when is best.

You're v welcome. St Albans is well worth a visit, especially with the old Roman ruins just outside.
Thanks for the supply estimates. I guess that the actual arrivals may be a lot less given the bad situation in general.
BTW how far away will the upcoming bombardment be audible from - assuming clear stillish weather which seems to be the present state of affairs? That would be a flare lit tip-off to any approaching COGA personel.
