Hearts of Iron IV is a fun strategy game.
Playing as brazil, I have declared war on venezuela and peru. Venezuela isn't doing much, I've taken one tile but nothing is really happening there. Peru was difficult, I had some initial success pushing in, making Peru very skinny. However, Peru managed to take to push to become HUGE. I then declared war in Bolivia and quickly took most of its territory, but Peru pushed me out. Even with ~100 divisions working together, I can't seem to defeat any of Peru's divisions.
Never played as Brazil, but man does it seem they can field a large army! I tend to like playing the not-huge nations, so I'll probably give them a go at some point as well. :)

I notice you are down to zero manpower. My guess is your units are under strength and are therefore combat ineffective. You either need more conscription or you need to delete some of your units so the manpower is absorbed into the others.
oh right no manpower is probably bad. which units should I delete?
I would say any that are also short on equipment. The artillerymen lacking artillery are probably better off in the infantry division ;p. Plus, it would help bulk up your other units that are short on equipment.
yeah that's probably a good idea. I tried adding an extra artillery unit to all my divisions because lots of the guides use that, but it seems that was a very bad idea
O, man, that is so easy to do. There is a reason I picked artillery as my example. I have done exactly that more times than I can count.
That said, artillery is named king of battle for a reason. If you can get your artillery production bulked up, you can massively upgrade your force.
