There’s no official answer that I know of. A&A is such an abstracted game that, in one sense, it would be meaningless to say that game unit X corresponds to real-world military (or naval) formation Y. Given the scope of A&A Global 1940, however, the various unit types on the map would roughly correspond to large formations if we were to assume that the allocation of units in the rules corresponds to real WWII numbers. As an example, Germany’s invasion of the USSR was carried out with over 150 divisions – so from that perspective, the small number of sculpts on the actual board could at best only correspond to army groups. At that level, it shouldn’t even be possible to differentiate between the components of the army groups, nor even of their consitutent armies or corps; the highest-level tank formations in WWII were, I think, armoured divisions and (one level further down) tank brigades. So one way to look at the game would be to imagine that we’re not actually seeing the military formations themselves, but rather a patchwork picture showing some of the elements of those formations, with some of these elements being high-level ones and others being lower-level ones (like tank brigades).
Anti-Tank Hedgehogs
-
Anyone know of some place I can get cheap AA scale Anti-Tank Hedgehogs?
-
I am using these.
I cut some of them in various lengths to match various border lengths. -
Neato
what are the ones called that look like big jacks, the steel things that look like 2 Xs. All over the beach at Normandy, etc.?

Anti-Tank Hedgehogs
-
They were called “Tank Traps”
-
Upon further research
Hedgehogs are the metal things that look like 2 Xs.
“Dragon’s Teeth” are the concrete pyramid things. -
Here are some rules:
Placed on border of TT
Attackers who have tanks or mech infantry attacking over them suffer a -1 die roll in combat.
The enemy cannot blitz thru them.
Cost for each border is 2 IPCGermany starts with one on German-franco border ( seigfried line)
France gets one representing the Maginot line
Russia gets one on one border in front of moscow
Italy gets one between north and south italy. -
Thanks Imperious, But I still need a place to get some that are small enough not to crowd the board.
