: 1.200.000 clones are too few for a galactic army.
: Considering that logistics,as it has been already pointed out, is probably handled by droids and the troops are well trained an army of one million of clones may be equivalent to 3-4 millions of normal troops.A bit better but not enough.
: I think that we have to see it in the context.The separatists may have only some millions of droids (few months of production of that factory,which was probably destroyed at the end of AOTC).

According to this site, there are roughly 80,000 battle droids produced per day at one of Poggle's hives. Assuming 4 million droids in the army, that makes 50 days worth of production. So that 4 million droid army is less than two months of production, at just one of Poggle's hives.
Now factor in the Commerce Guild, the IG Banking, and the Techo Union for the total numbers.
