I agree, but I think that is already in the game. I am constantly having to build and repair infra and naval bases to keep my army moving. Invade China as Japan and tell me this isn't already built into the game. I try not to argue other people's game experiences, but I have to wonder how anyone hasn't experienced this or seen the myriad of posts on steam from players not knowing why they have yellow exclamation marks on their troops, or why they won't attack when ordered to.
I just don't think the leader of a nation who is commander of ALL armed forces etc. needs to turn into a supply officer, or whatever is involved in making supply "harder".
It's not about making supply harder, but about making engaging with the supplies system more meaningful. The only way to solve supplies issue at the moment is to either go on a ridiculous infrastructure building spree (which is also not a satisfying game experience), or to advance further so you get more of the supply area (and its vp), which just feels wrong as even if you capture some industry it would not be available for use immediately. Well, unless the supplies issue is due to your allies flooding the area with their useless troops in which case you're out of luck.
