Best settings to manage SU with as little effort as possible.

there is a difference between '0' (SUs don't stick) and 'locked' SUs don't leave, from 21.5.6:

If you want to minimize the number of support units in a HQ unit, but still allow automatic transfer through that HQ
unit? Use a setting of ‘0’ so that the only support units the computer will send to the HQ will be the permanent levels of construction and engineers

so you can use 'locked' globally, lock everything and do your allocations manually or in part of the OOB to block out some of the path (up or down), but 0 simply means 'don't stop here'

I dont think this was mentioned above. If you want to empty a corps or army, set it to OKH for a turn or two, set it to zero, and it will empty itself with minimal effort.

Thanks Loki. Sorry to be obtuse, but if I use 'unlocked' globally, (which I want to do - I don't want to allocate SUs manually) are you saying that if I set OKH and Army/ArmyGroups to '0', and, say '1' and '2' for my various Corps, then the SUs will still end up in my Corps at the right time? I thought the advice was to set Army and Army groups to '1' in these circumstances?

I should in fairness to the excellent presentation by Strategy Gaming Dojo ...

NOTE: That in the next episode in re-addressed SUs and the loss of CPP points due to being pull down from OKH in the optimal method he presented. And noted, that for this title, it would take some analysis if they should be pulled down to the Corps level and locked with the HQ option versus what he first proposed.

(I just finished the episode.)
