I would check to see if your bases are set to stockpile supply. If yes, then supply will not flow out of the base.
You can check this for any individual base from the base information screen, on the left-hand side.
Not exactly. Supply will flow out to units in the field as an absolute priority, up to their usual requirements. It will not flow to other bases which may screw up the supply flow over a wide area. Be very careful not to overuse stockpiling.
Feeding field units is not the absolute priority though. Base requirements are absolute. I had this problem when conquering AI CONUS where all coastal cities had exorbitant default supply demands. Nothing trickled in the field and I had to scramble additional supply from overseas to continue operations.
Alfred says differently.
Keep in mind that the presence of HQs and large ports causes accumulation but it will be doled out to the field based on supply draw of the units. It can take up to a week for the supply draw in the field to actually happen. Deliveries can be anywhere from once a week to every day, depending on communication lines and the size of the unit needing the goodies.
I'm not sure, but drawing replacements probably also eats up the supply you are expecting, so your units in the field may be getting supply but using it to gain squads and other devices. The Op Report may say the devices are being drawn from Base XX but I don't know if this is in addition to the general supply or part of the maximum flow.
No, GA is correct (and Alfred says so also) - the base that has the supplies is priority numero uno. If it does not have 3x supplies requested, it will ship nothing out. I don't know whether units in the field or other bases comes next.
I don't remember whether the replacements phase is before or after the supply requirements phase (which is when stuff would move about, I am pretty sure).
I couldn't find it on search, but about nine months ago there was a player lamenting that units in Chungking could not get supply while other units nearby in the field were getting supply. He had tried stockpile at Chungking but it just was not building as much as he wanted. IIRC, Alfred was the one who said the supply flow rules were changed to ensure units in the field were not allowed to starve while a base stockpiled all the supply. The 3X rule may apply, but beyond that the stockpile may not be absolute.
