To me it seems far too easy to replace losses in divisions and such. It feels like there's no real consequences if I suffer heavy losses, because one turn later and they're most likely healed. I was under the impression that units were rarely at full strength, yet most units are full strength all the time.

Thanks largely to your huge enough draft training size and your perfect supply system. More important, you had money to back them up.
I witnessed two Grand Armees thrusting into Swedian lands finally got cut down to a tiny fraction of themselves (and forced to bid farewell) by my intervening ships.
it is difficult to maintain a really large army in the field, i had near two millions men movilized with france and must put some to forage if i want some money, supply in enemy territory is more costly, and i have around 40 provinces in my control, is my oppinion but i prefer very large armies, them give more strategic options in the global game.
with regards,
alaric.

Luckily I saved myself the trouble by playing Britain, by which I managed just a nimble size of land units besides a long echelon of sea merchants supporting its treasury.
