Thanks GD, I actually found my ACOW manual after I posted and yeah there was no table in the ACOW manual. If memory serves me correctly the one that probably bears the most was the force stockpile and form supply dist proficiency? What are your thoughts on that?
There's a lot of variables with supply: the force supply level, the % rating of any given supply point, the formation supply %, the supply radius and the availability of HQs.
As an example, from memory, the table had diabolical force and formation supply for the Soviets, but if you also have a low supply radius, a poor supply net and a large map so that units aren't near their HQs, then units aren't going to get any supply at all. That's fine if you're covering, let's say, the 2nd Battle of Kharkov and you just need the Soviets to gradually collapse as they exhaust their initial supplies, but if you're modelling a longer campaign there needs to be some scope for units to rest and recover. Otherwise there is no incentive for the Soviet player to take battered units out of the line: everyone will just stay on low supply and hope for the best.
I'm sorry there's not really an easy answer here. One thing I would say is that there is no point in having every formation have a low supply efficiency: if you have force supply 25 and every formation supply setting is 80, that is functionally the same as force supply 20 and formation supply of 100. As such I would tend to set the formation which should have the highest supply efficiency and set that as your baseline of 100 and scale everyone else from there.
