Best advice is to try and control a major Continent early (Europe, North America) even if it means losing any terratory elsewhere. You get plenty of armies every turn, and can keep mostly on the defensive until you have enough of a build-up to run over people.
The last game I played I did that with Europe. Everyone else beat up on each other while I waited quietly, conquering a neighboring terratory or two every turn for the purpose of gaining cards to get more armies. By the time there were only a couple players left, I broke out and ran over everyone.
Patience is the key.
