I feel like im doing something completely wrong and since have gone back to an earlier save and just going to start russia invasion

depends on the width of your divisions for example a tile has a limit of a width and if your army has too high of a width it gains debuffs to attack as well as tiles have limited supply in them (which you can upgrade by mechanizing your supply depots or upgrading chokepoints in supply) but basically low supply (red icons or skulls or whatever) = basically no attack and defense
