Then you will have a bunch of Panzers sitting around with no gas and no enemy anywhere close to them.
Very true. I will have to see how I can avoid this dilemma.

The problem is he can withdraw and just stay out of range. Soon you will reach the end of your supply tether. Then you will have a bunch of Panzers sitting around with no gas and no enemy anywhere close to them.
There is always the hope that he will play in to yours hands and try to fight you in the south. But a quality Soviet is not going to do that.
Good luck [:)]
Why turn off refits to southern units? The Soviets can afford to refit everything early on, with ease. The only limiting factor is manpower, easily addressed by disbanding excess airbases and HQs. The armaments are certainly there to do it.
(This assumes rifle refits only, to be sure. No refits for mech units anywhere.)

I have always funneled replacements since the first game I played as Soviets I witnessed Leningrad get overrun with hasty attacks haha
My theory was the troops in the south run a bigger risk of getting surrounded or beat up by the extra panzers so why make them stronger and waste resources?

The key in the south is to screen with junk and throwaways and even weaker mech units -- things you don't care about and aren't being refitted. Rifle divisions being deployed further to rear. I see no reason to starve them just because they are in the south. Once east of the Dnepr, you won't be losing them. If you are throwing them away west of the Dnepr...you're simply doing it wrong.
