Well, from what I saw you could still make the auto work 1. set Armee to 9, Korps to 3, everything else to zero sucks all excess up to Armee and all higher down to Armee 2. set Armee to 0 flows down to Korps until it runs out 3. set Heersgruppe to 9 sucks unused up to AG level 4. find Korps with insufficient, set their Armee to 9, set Heersgurppe to 0 flows down to Armee with needy Korps 5. Set Armee to 0 flows down to needy Korps 6. repeat for higher HQ if some Korps still needy Now with all that said, I would prefer to set manually as I do for the Russians. For the Russians, if I want to waste AP it takes about 10-15 minutes (total, assuming I have already determined what I want in each HQ) to pull from STAVKA for each Army; if I want to save AP it takes about 30-45 minutes to rail STAVKA around and flow the SU downward. In fact, I find that figuring out what I want in each HQ takes longer than actually moving the SU there. Now, as I said above, I have not played the Germans in a while. But there are some significant differences. For the Russians, I like to put exactly the same SU distribution into every Army HQ; the Soviets have a lot of artillery and can easily make whatever else I want to use. The Germans, as I remember, are short of almost everything; you want to put your breakthrough artillery where you are fighting forts, your field artillery primarily with your lead infantry with a little bit everywhere else, motorized support with mobile HQ, etc. etc. Back when I could flow down automatically, I used that as a starting point only then moved them one at a time until it felt good . However you move your SU, you will end up doing a LOT of manual adjustment first to get it the way you want it and then to change it as the strategic situation changes. Just my two cents
