how many supply wagons do I need when I go to war? Are there any rough calculation I can use? or do I simply guess?
Best solution is to detach all supply wagons from the force you want to move forward. You can then see how much supply per turn that will need (the little supply icon at the end of the toolbar with all the unit details). Now do the same for your supply wagons - that will tell you, assuming they are full, just how much they can carry.
If you have Romans in the AJE scenarios you can reckon on relatively quick sieges (the specialist siege towers etc), everyone else and Romans in BOR will be much slower. So that may give you some tools to guess at how many turns before you can secure a new source of supply (ie from on arrival if it is non-fortified to 'x' months/years).
Equally you can set up a supply chain, either build a depot near to where you are making a siege (that will produce some supply) and/or send your wagons back/forth to a decent supply source (but escort them). Both these will make supply a bit less of a one-shot, take all you need to eat exercise.
Strategy in the game revolves around holding/taking decent supply sources, like a lot of AGEOD games, starvation is a pretty powerful weapon in your hands and a pretty major threat ...
