I've been thinking, and there might be a way to address the discrepancy between peacetime standing army and mobilized reserves. We can probably agree that mobilized reserves are generally akin to militia units, with poor equipment, poor organization, and mediocre leadership at best. So, how about putting an event in for Yugoslavia (and other likely targets of Axis agression) that creates a number of militia divisions in case Axis DOWs them?
That way, we can have our 10-20 divisions of real standing army, and another 10-20 militia divisions ready to pop out in case of an attack. This way Yugoslavia gets the historic numbers and gets their historic use out of them (ie. they break in 5 minutes and retreat).
This approach probably works best for those European nations such as Yugoslavia, Greece, and possibly Turkey, that had large populations and large army reserves.
