Ehm, I think that if you go to the paradox folder and look for the OOB files and delete them all, all armies/fleets/planes are gone. I have no idea if this works and I would like to add that it messes with the balance of the game as most minor nations can't build a army in time to be a real treath. Germany will also fail with reocupation of the Rhineland as it needs 100(?) brigades to allow the event to happen. Looking at the time you would have to build your army I doubt it you will have that in time..... England will be very weak aswell as they need to build a navy and an army and transport it all over the globe. I don't think it will work very well...

The alternative is starting the game and using the ''tag nation'' cheat to manually remove all the armies you want to have removed. However, this leaves you with the same issues of nations being unable to build armies to the level as which they were when ww2 started.

You could also edit the OOB files to your liking, it will be a lot of your work but you fully define everything :D

The final things is using cheats(quick build, infinte resourses, edditing provinces, adding manpower via editing game files)

Why do you want to start without armies in the first place?

In that case I suggest using cheat engine and a cheat table to conquer the world as Luxembourg or any other minor nation :P It could also be a funny idea to remove all cores for every nation(really easy to do) :P Ofcourse you could play mods :D The WW1 mod sp[rings to mind but there are tons of mods out there so there is bound to be something nice :D
you could also tweak the diffucilty settings to the extreme, ginving a 100% bonus to leadership for everybody :D Or increases land production and movement speed :P
Orrrr create an army of militia as Russia and attack germany with 10.000.000 militia soldiers :D

But for a completly different game, try mods ;)
There is even a zombie mod :D
