I once played this game too but after a short time I stopped. I never won without using a nuke. It was either the poeple that a month before I was about to win the battle against the last country around me the people started to be afraid and decided to throw me off. I once had 5 times more units and arms and my enemy beat me... rather erritating, never understood what actually determines if you win or lose a battle.

I almost never use a nuke. It is always the last resort if I am at war with say Syria and Egypt while losing both fronts. It is very risky to use nukes.
For the people deciding to throw you out of office is normal. As I said earlier, funding by other countries can do this to you, especially if you are not doing that great...
Just having more units doesn't mean you are going to win a war. Though I have to admit I am surprised that you lost if you actualy had 5 times as much. Can you please give the details of the specific war?
As a rule of thumb, if you have only one brigade when a major country invade you, and you decide to put everything next turn, they might not arrive on time, thus you might lose, so, don't do this. It is better to have your army in place long before the actual battle begins.
The best (against major countries again) tactic is to have about 40% of your forces in the borders, slowly though. One brigade at a time, and hopefuly the enemy will not detect everything, and thus have only one or two brigades at most. Then with a surprise attack, and mass reinforcements next month, you can sometimes wins quickly (2-3 turns). Of course if your intelligence is wrong, and they have far more, you are screwed.
