I am in the same dilemma. Playing the campaign as the Germans PBEM, and it is turn 6 and since turn 4-5 my panzers all over the front have been at 15-23 or so MPs, not much i can do about it, other than a HQBU, as my HQs are at 20-25 hexes and 30-35 MPs from the railhead. Hard to break thru much of a Soviet line with 17 MPs, certainly hard to get any kind of encirclements. The only thing to do is 1) push a little each turn or 2) wait for the infantry and the railhead to move closer or 3) to do HQBUs while also doing #2, although the HQBUs. Virtually impossible to use airfields to supply the advanced panzers, since they move each turn, so your JU52s are air dropping directly to them after they move without an airbase next to them from the start of the turn, so you can get 3-4 panzer divisions up to 25% fuel this way at best, maybe less per turn. Again, you can stop the panzers and do #2 above and then put an airfield next to them, but that means stopping. I have to say, it did 'feel right' in that i was past Smolensk with little in front of me and Moscow on turn 5 and supply utterly stopped me, as it should. I am stopped now mostly and doing HQBU as the infantry and rail comes up. Also, moved up airfields right next to the sitting panzers. Randy :)
