I suppose this is intended? I managed to send transports to Archangelsk with a HQ and everything. But, no dice, neither the HQ nor units receive any supply...

Well the Vologda & Belomorsk rail lines are cut so supply is already down. Vologda because of the rail line is one of the most important cities in the game.
I think the change to GB/US supply in SU was in an update. All I know is unless absolutely necessary (retreating from Iraq) you don't want GB/US troops in the SU (maybe its the vodka?).
Not to second guess but Overlord would have been a better use of the Brit troops.
enjoy.

Hi
The rule is as follows:
The USSR has a pro-Allied status but even when it enters the war it will act as a non-cooperative Allied power. This means that western Allied units cannot operate into or out of Soviet territory, or vice versa, and each will receive a maximum supply of 3 from the others’ resources.

thus the word "maximum"
I do think the game would be better served if SU didn't have the supply restriction in Iraq or GB/US in Iran.
Considering its inevitable for Allies to retreat to Iraq against a determined attack the supply "line" gives the Axis an unwarranted advantage in the region.

In the screenshot above the relevant unit (1 corps uk) has a supply of 4 due to the U. It should therefore be reinforcable to strength 7 per the manual. Yet, that does not seem to be possible. Any ideas why?
