Basically near enough that a unit can send a party there to get supplies every few days, so I would think 5 - 10 miles max. Maybe more if the army was stationary, less if they wanted to move at a decent rate. Of course supply isn't a problem in bringing an army together, Heortlings will be quite used to carrying several days rations when they muster. However after a week or so supply becomes crucial and that's where the Lunars will have the upper hand. Not only have they the organisation to supply the army, they also have the discipline to survive on part rations if need be.

Given that a starting player character is 5w, I would expect most weaponthanes to be between 5w-10w. With Lunar troops, the best regiments would have comparable soldiers while the average ones would be about 1w and there will be a lot of militia at 10-15. Of course the key difference is that Hoplites will have that skill in formation fighting only, as individuals they should suffer a negative modifier.
