MMAC,
Welcome to the game.
You need always need supplies. It is the lifeblood of the game. Follow the credo that you can never have enough, and you probably will be ok.
Good rule of thumb you need 2x required supply minimum to perform at optiminum, all other things acceptable (like aviation support). It always is advisable to have 20000+ supply at any combat air base if at all possible in order to be abled to take direct air replacements. I put a minimum of 100K in all command HQ's and primary base hubs. As a tip, set minimum required supply to maximum on those important bases on the base command screen by using the right double arrow icon in the supply required row of the menu. Only in rare cases will supply overstack and spoil, but I would not worry about that in the beginning. You can check the rules for specifics on supply spoilage if desired. It is not a big deal.
You need fuel if naval units are going to use the port or deliver supplies. You also need fuel for production faciltieis. A good rule of thumb is about 8000 points will do two large thirsty convoys, so 20-30K is desirable in forward bases. In hubs, I max out up to 1 million points and distribute from there.
Good hunting
