ok, so keep all Support units at OKH unless i anticipate an assault and then I move them manually to a local HQ, well in advance of the assault if I can plan that far ahead.
Set OKH supply priority to 4 and then set HQ's further down the line to lower numbers. I should point out that I read loki's thread that is a "sticky" about logistics and I must have it wrong because he said if you leave a depot on priority 4 it will hoard all of the supplies and nothing gets passed down. That a player should lower the priority so that supplies get passed along. However, if past performance is any indication of future success, I am sure I have it completely wrong.
SUs - find your own logic, I've never sent them all to OKH, but have my personal reworking of the assets and then how I use them subsequently. But then I have my own ideas as to which axis formations are going to be involved in what will be the main actions in 1941. Its like a lot of this game, you can micro-manage to the point of near insanity, you can do 'good enough' and often the best advice is to fit their deployment around your strategy (so there is no mechanistic 'do this' answer)
HQ priority, don't mix up HQ priority with depot priority. HQ set up creates demand, depot priority is about creating supply of freight.
Again, purely for myself, there is no need for OKH or Stavka to be at more than pri #1. Stavka should be on a NSS (so the freight for repairing damaged SU is there) till late war. I tend to dump OKH around Warsaw-Kaunas/Lvov, I don't have many SU in it, just those transiting, I dump axis SU that need to repair into the reserve.
Again, my view is the 50% loss of CPP for SUs being transferred is a monumental red herring with the exception of the Soviet brigade sized formations. They are strong enough that the loss may give me pause for thought, anything of battalion or less has so little practical CV that its of little importance.
Some more general comments. Don't wind yourself up trying to understand everything, in part stuff slots together when you play and in part as there is often a common sense route. So logistics you can wind yourself up trying to track trains etc, or, use geography. All depots say 5 hexes from the front, pri 4, next 10-15 hexes mix of pri 2 or 3 (3 if near to an airbase), then a cluster of reserve depots at pri 4, then 1 or 0 back to the NSS.
the intermediate #4s grab freight that can't reach the front, drop their priority when you want more freight (offensive/advance or simply running short) at the front, then rebuild.
That will give you a good robust logistics network without doing much apart from imposing your own reading of the map
