I definitely agree with this. I'm an experienced CRPG player but no pro and I found Tactician easy from the start. I don't use elixirs or scrolls except in rare circumstances and I just cakewalk through most, if not all encounters. +1 for another difficulty.
EDIT: Even the +100% supplies needed for long rest were not even close to making me anxious about not having enough supplies when I needed to rest. I gathereed all food I saw and it was just, well... I would've liked to have been closer to running out and therefore to compromise.
