Essentially, from what you described, it was two months eating own supplies, then living off land, and last starving. In the end it might have been less than 2,5-3 months really out of supplies. I think this is pretty realistic, what do you think?
By comparison, although I know it's another war, Stalingrad's ring closed on 23rd of November and the troops lived in harsh winter and under attack until February 2. I guess 2 months and something, 4-5 turns game-wise. In my own humble opinion, if the German troops in Paris were not attacked (as you were watching football, as you said), they could definitely live off the land until their final unavoidable demise.
This was with normal (not easy) supply rules.

If that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense if the designers changed it so that Normal in both and Hard is player-only?

I started a game as WE with easy supply activated after some impressive manoever(:P) I managed to encircle german army in metz.
After 6 months of siege that army was as good as new so I asked a friend who talled me to stop easy supply wich I did.
One year latter, that army was still supplied
