While we've got Greg interested in this, can I suggest we ask him to look over the troop numbers at different times during the siege? That has a big impact on what they are capable of doing.
My feeling is that on the mundane plane Tatius spends most of 1620 encirling the city and cutting off routes into WW. So at the beginning of the year the defenders can get supplies across Fellmoor as long as they send a warband out to guard them. By the end the Lunars are intercepting drultz smugglers in nearby streams which lead to the caverns under the city.
This matches the troop levels we've got and is good for PCs as they can be given the job of finding different ways of keeping the city supplied. A job that gets gradually harder as they get better.
