Suggested works on logistics

It's probably worth reading some background also, such as MI Fnley's "The Ancient Economy" V.D. Hanson's "Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece", GT Griffith's "The Mercenaries of the Hellenistic World" Volume II & Voume V of Pritchett's "The Greeek State at War" and "Supplying War: Logisitics from Wallenstein to Patton" by M Van Creveld. The last is relevant as 18th century logisitcs weren't much different from the Ancient world and there are ancient world examples. It also has a fascinating chapter on the World War 2 North African campaign, where it says that the Afrika Korps was the only completely motorised formation in the German army, and had as many trucks (mostly captured) as the whole of the rest of the German army at the time.
