What kind of logistics support was possible in your version? There were no railroads. Armies generally lived off the land or their immediate provinces. It was impossible to move such amounts of food and water over large distances, mainly because of the slow communications and the fact that the supply train needs supplies as well.
The fleet couldn't have been a worthwhile lifeline either, because fleets were already inefficient with food and water resources, having to land almost every day and consuming large amounts of supplies.
