Once people start playing what are some easy things people will forget about and result in them getting steamrolled. Stuff like just building divisions with all equipment and not having spare equipment when the war starts

Probably will end up stockpiling too little and run out of stuff halfway through Barborassa.

The mistake I will make, in my first playthrough as Canada, is thinking my soldiers' politeness will grant them an advantage on the battlefield.

Stockpiling too much.
Researching lots of naval techs, winning the war at sea in six months, then realizing your land army is awful and can't beat the enemy on the ground.
Rushing for oil-producing regions, forgetting that your panzerdivisions run on fairy dust.

Can't be worse than playing Great Britain and offering the Germans a nice cup of tea to get into the fighting spirit before battle.

I don't think any rational being can judge an entire nation of people based off of one small incident that happened over 100 years ago.My mistake will obviously be about not building economy properly in time, and accidentally trading out all my resources in exchange of something I don't need, to the point I don't have them when war begins.
Canadians? Polite?
Hah, the last time I checked, they behaved in such a gross way against Indians and non-whites until a few decades ago, even Nazis would start considering them their socio-ideological compatriots. Komagata Maru incident, anyone?

That's seriously uncalled for

Turning Canada communist, invading Alaska, then wondering why the game only lasts until 1938.

I feel like for me, it's going to take a few games before I figure out how many infantry equipment, tanks, etc. I should have stockpiled for each invasion of a country (as in, I may not stockpile enough or waste all my resources on too much stuff that will be outdated in a year).

I want to play my first game as the Soviet Union, but fully expect to blow too much of my manpower and equipment pre-war and not have enough in reserve to build up new armies when my armies get butchered in the first months of Barbarossa.

Ah, this, so much. The glorious panzer divisions will trample all of Europe with their mighty fairy dust.

Building too many mechanized/motorized units as Japan causing your ships to no longer have fuel to guard your supply lines that give you fuel... I NEVER made this mistake....
Alright I did do that in hoi3... bad idea, not useful either in the Chinese mountains, complete waste of resources. It is one way to die though, for sure.
Another one would be not guarding your naval ports as China trying to push back Japan, just to have them land in Canton(Guangzhou) and Shanghai.
here is a good one, playing as an allied nation like the Netherlands and not joining Germany, but stick with your buddy England... that is always smart as the English love to send troops to help you(a.k.a. not sending troops and watch your nation burn from across the channel #englandisevil)
in all honesty I will probably lose a few round to all three of these reasons when playing hoi4. Looking forward to it
