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).
Labor Camp House Rules and Piece
-
Once at War, Nations (of course Germany & Russia had them before WW2) created Labor Camps to assist with the War Effort.
Suggestive Rule:
Once at War with a Major Power and Owning at least (1) original territory from your opponent, you can build a Labor Camp. Must be built at Major Factory Site. Labor Camp will reduce cost by 1IPC on selective units (my house rule would be Infrastructure, like Railroads, Rail Stations, Oil Derricks, Air Fields, Ship Yards, Bunkers, etc) However, could be used on Aircraft or Artillery & Armor. Can be bombed and removed from play. Can be liberated. If Liberated piece is removed from play.Cost: Depends on if you are playing 40,39 or 36 Game. 5-8IPC
Movement: none
Attack: none
Defense: none

the structure will be a little shorter then an oil derrick piece. I will have them on my website soon.

Looks like Japan built a Labor Camp in Korea
