Whenever I try to play a major power like Germany, the USSR, or America, I never seem to be able to generate as many units as the AI does by the start of the war.

In my last game as France, both Germany and Italy had over two dozen infantry divisions on my border by the start of the war. When I play as them, I can't seem to get more than a couple dozen divisions across all my borders!

What am I doing wrong?

The chances are that their units are all under equipped as they just spammed them out rather than letting them recruit up to be full like a human would.

Hmmm that's me very clear is it?

They likely are just deploying the divisions early and then another load start training etc etc.

There are a couple of things you can investigate. If you pause and switch over to whatever country, take a look at the templates and the equipment levels.

The AI has been getting better, but it's a famous problem that AI will build hundreds of divisions, except that they are half the size of anything a player would build, and the AI has -50000 of every equipment type.
