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).
This isn't really a "rule" but…

When my friends and I play A&A, we have various patriotic/inspiring songs for each country. So far we have:
Russia: Russian National Anthem
Germany: Deutschland uber Alles/Ride of the Valkyrie
UK: It’s a long way to Tipperary
Japan: none yet
US: National AnthemAny other ideas for songs we could play?
We actually sing these songs (as much as we can)
Makes it much crazier… -
:o
Yes – you & your friends ARE insane!!!
But, I like it…
Seems like this would go great with the Drinking A&A variant!

Why is that? When we play A&A, we like to really get in the mood. The only problem is that I my Russian accent tends to blend in with my German accent. I gotta get a multi-lingual dictionary! :D

Like the idea! I like putting on some old metal like Slayer….
-
That’s not exactly the point, but we have a lot of other music that we play as well.

I understood you put on music to match the Nation –-
So your point was duly noted GI. -

It would be, but our military website blocker prevents us from finding websites under the category mp3, so I couldn’t get the songs. Besides, I’ve been having trouble finding enough players for a game (and the game).
