Combat units not getting supplies ouf of Base

I have encountered an weird issue with ground combat units.

This is an PBEM so I hate go into details but here is the situation.

I have +21 000 units on an base which exceeds the computer set minium hugely.

I have thinkered with required supply button in order to withdraw supply units into frontline base. This was set around 30 000. I thought this feature was to be used as the soviets did in WW2 leaving nothing behind.

The supplies were moving nicely as I guess it was intended. However now I cannot "use it" to supply my infantry units.

I'am not building up forts currently. Only thing is the fact that airfield is badly damaged.

More details in my AAR since my opponent propably will look into this too.

Save game available ofcourse if needed.

Thank you.

Found the problem and hopefully will make into Patch 1, in the interim reset all bases in Luzon to zero additional supply, you've got all these bases competing against each other.

I'm the PBEM partner, and I just took Clark. Was this sufficiently bugged that we should wait for patch 1 and re-run the turn then?

And if we did that, would supplies move prior to the combat phase, or do we need to back up another turn so I can stand down the attack for one turn cycle (2 day turns)

No, you don't have to wait for the patch just set your units to defend for 1 turn to allow him to do as indicated above to get supplies although it may not make any difference considering what you've got.

The work around "worked" and units recieved their supplies as expected.

This wasn't the case just in Luzon since I noticed the same thing happening elsewhere too.

..anyway just wished I would have noticed this earlier since it caused me plenty of needless casualties.

Thank you!
