My hat's off to your design team. Here's why: Last night, I was playing (as usual) Russia and tangled with the French in a number of battles, in western Austria. What I noted was "hmm, why am I not having the supply caissons being over-run issue, like I was before?" Then it hit me, and goes to your point. Previously, I was battling the Turks alot, in mostly open terrain, and their preponderance of cavalry was having a field day with my scattered caissons. Fighting in western Austria the terrain was cluttered, lots of streams, trees, and hills, and French cavalry - both less numerous and constrained by terrain - was unable to get at my caissons as easily. While I do think it would be a good idea to have minimal protected supply of some kind (assuming your Army is in supply in the first place), this definitely gives cavalry, and the Turks, a needed element of danger. In the main, I withdraw my concern.
