I am aware of my reputation on this board. I am going to post this anyway.

The matter at hand is the correct way to provision a keep for a long siege.

Everything in the cellar is stacked, labelled and rotated. I can tell you what I will be eating in a fortnight. Can you say that of your granary?

Call me a clown in the replies. Then try it.

Felix said "The matter at hand is the correct way to provision a keep for a long siege" — Felix thinks he's got this all figured out just because he's managed to squeak by a few sieges, but the real test is how his precious provisions hold up when the snow starts falling and his cellar is the only thing standing between his troops and starvation, and I'm willing to bet it won't be pretty.
