When units consume more supplies than their supply requirements they must be re-supplied. Units draw supplies from their HQs or directly from a rail head if it is closer. Units can draw supplies up to 5 hexes (or 20 motorized movement points) from an HQ or rail head. HQs can draw supply up to 25 hexes (or 100 motorized movement points) from a rail head. The combined rail head to HQ to unit supply line cannot exceed 100 motorized movement points. HQs cannot supply other HQs.
what the parent HQs ?
LI Korps/6th Army/Army Group South ?
Most units are attached to either a corps HQ or (Soviet) army HQ. Supply goes straight from rail head to the HQ. There is no movement of supply between HQs. In your example above LI corps supplies the divisions attached to it. Although 6th Army and Army Group South draw supply, they would only supply divisions directly attached to them.
kind of strange thinking then, since the parent HQ is where most of the Log support would be at ?, Korps would have just the basic set up to pass the supplies on, the supplies would come from the parent
Think about what you just wrote from a game system point of view. You would be having supply go from the rail head to the army, from the army to the corps, and from the corps to the division. In this chain either the army or the corps is redundant and the system is more flexible and less subject to abuse by removing the army step.
Army Groups and Armies are important in the game but not for supply purposes.
