supplies in units

[Czert]

I have good idea to solve instant out of supply for units.
Units have (integral) certain ammount of supplies attached to (land) divs - e.q for 30 days and these supplies are consumed when unit moves (but still repenisled underway) but can¨run out of supplies when "moving forever". Out of these supples result in auto-stop of moving and auto-continue moving when reached certain level (e.q. 50% - speed of resupliing based on ESE).
And when comes to fight- these supplies are NOT consumed in fight , only when encircled - and ESE penalty is based on actual amount of supplies.
Supplies in fighgt are consumed only in poor infra prov (e.q. under 30%).
And will be possible to oversuply unit if stay in prov for long to e.q. 300% (and no more), but when unist move - these oversuply is lost (read transfered to prov).

Perhaps someone better informed could tell me...but does a unit in RL ever get oversupplied?

Yes, IRL in two cases 1. when planed on long-time defence (typycaly fort units/important long-time stable front) and when planing very big offensive - IIRC soviets halt for 3 monhts on front in 44 (before warhaw) for gathering enouh ammo to start big offensive (stoped in berlin in 45) and all stockpied (rocked) artilery ammo used in cca 4 hours.
And rest of my idea ?

First of all, I would like to change the supplies system from provincial ESE to Supply lines system.

For example Allied air offensive against northern italy to dislodge germans from the gustave line.
In the game germans in Rome province will have the same amount of supplies even the northern italy will be bombed to ancient age of infrastructure. How could the suplies get through moon-land?

There should be a system that count all the ESE and try to find a supply route in which the lowest ESE is as high as possible. so when on the supply route the lowest ESE is 40, then the divisions suppliet by this route will have an ESE at 40 percent. when some province in the supply route is bombed to 10%, then divisions ESE will fall to 10%.

Then all the units will have their own divisional warehouses or dumps where they could stack some amount of supplies (for 5-10 days of fighting). There should be also an Supply unit or something like that... they will be movable only by strategic redeploying. Supply units will have a bigger capacity for stacking supplies (ex: 30 days for 10 inf divs).
Supplies will come from home country to supply units and then to divisional dumps. Both ways (counry to supply unit and supply unit to divison) will be affected by ESE.
