Training is especially easy if you say impliment a manditory "Every week all
abled body peasants must shoot arrows, and swing pointy sticks." (such lack
luster training also explains the low quality of most soldiers, I mean you'd
be lucky if they knew what end of the stick to hold) But training
aside, things like weapons and armour along with shoes, cloths, etc. take
time to manufacture and then transport. No automated production so each
arrow has to be hand made, each sword done by a smith, each suit of armour a
tanner, or smith depending on the type. Add to that the time it would take
to pull that kind of gear to one place by horse and cart and you've got a
bit of a supply lag for new recruits, especially if you can't pick up old
stuff from last fight.
