Its really easy, just appoint your more powerful vassals as members of the council, give them some gifts and honorary titles etc. Then disband your armies and raise them again. You'll go from an army of like 35K to like 70k+. Also if you want, lowering crown authority by a level will give you like an additional 10k troops.

Try marrying Margaery Tyrell. Most of the time Mace won't join with you but he won't join against you, and wait about a month until you raise your armies, it should raise to about 50k levies, and make sure you keep your armies together.
"Act like a Stark" ? You mean "let yourself get killed in the stupidest and most frustrating manner imaginable" ?

My first move, before I even unpause, is to institute Maximum Feudal Levies and grant honorary titles to a few key personages (including Hoster Tully) so that I can increase my relations (and thus, the levies I can call upon). Once the law passes, I manually raise the Tully stack right next to Harrenhal and use it to keep the Lannisters and the IT from joining up while the main force from the North consolidates.

I don't think you can marry Margaery in the most resent version as she starts off married to Joff.
I haven't been able to win as Robb without using console commands for cash or playing as Balon Greyjoy and joining Robb before the North or Westerlands invasion event.
I won as Robb just yesterday by using the disbandung tricktic above. Well, to be exact, I was winning against both Lannisters and Ironmen when Dany took the throne and put the Lannisters and Tyrells out of the game. I continued to press for independence, thinking a freshly conquered IT, all alone against the mighty North, would be an easy target. Then Grandpa Lannister decided to threaten me to release Jaime or face war, and I if course couldn't give in to that or nobody would take me seriously. So I had to simultaneously fight the Ironmen, the Fresh Queen of Kings Landing, and the Lannister Tyrell alliance. And I beat them all back with relative ease (Of course, the fact that Jaime inherited the paramounthood during the eat and gave me an automatic 100% warscore didn't hurt). I'm just happy the Night's Watch didn't fall to Mance or anything so I had to fight him too.
Oh, but Robb didn't make it through the war. He died during one of the final battles with Danaerys, leaving the Free North to his less-than-a-year-old son Eddard. So I guess I didn't technically win as him.
