When a new Soviet Army arrive STAVKA immediately attaches support units to it, usually the wrong ones meaning you have to spend the next two turns sending them back. Is it possible to stop this practice by locking newly arrived HQs and/or not allowing the transfer to newly arrived HQ.

To help control support unit movement my Armies attached to Fronts and STAVKA are unlocked but Fronts are. This works fine except for Armies still attached to STAVKA which I lock.

Perhaps I don't completely understand how the locking system and support works.

Removed. A dumb question

If I lock STAVKA itself will it prevent new Armies receiving support units on the turn they arrive?

Scenario one. This isn't an isolated incident. Perhaps you do not have any support units in STAVKA or maybe STAVKA is locked.

The new support units happen when you build an army HQ using APs. These are NEW support units created along with the HQ - nothing got transferred.

I prefer to keep stavka unlocked (but lock fronts ) so suport units are asigned from stavka instead of building new suport units with lousy experience .

I'm not sure what you are saying, this does not happen to me. I'm playing the Soviets just in case there's a side difference.

When I create a new HQ using APs I don't get new support units, it's empty. If I leave it a turn unlocked then support units are transferred in from STAVKA.

My post was about HQs received as reinforcements. There receive support units on the turn they arrive and as they also arrive unlocked you have no chance to lock them

In 1.08 SU are not created when a new HQ is built. Scripted reinforcements arrive as usual.

I think if you would start playing the game with locked HQ option they would arrive locked and no units would be transferred. But you have to keep STAVKA locked as well.
Manual assignment is vastly superior, unfortunately.

That my idea as well. Problem is new armies are attached to STAVKA and receive support units if not locked. You can lock HQs created using APs but you cannot lock those received as reinforcement.

Having said all that I don't believe support level system is required anymore. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3812935
