I haven’t used that map, but I’d recommend scaling your pieces up by about 10-20% to keep things proportional. Test fit as you go to make sure it works.
HBG should be making national flag tokens for ( Global 40) like these….

I think making sets of uber thick square tokens for control would be a great idea.
Using the national flags.

Yes.
I use the HBG Air and Naval bases, as well as Major and Minor factories. They are all the same size, stand out well, fit next to each other, and save space for real units. I like the uniformity.
If they make WW2 flags I would use them to mark VCs and to show conquered ones. Germany better get swastikas on their flag (realism).

Right on that.
I prefer the rectangle and they are easier to pick up and are way more sturdy. They already got USA, just need the other 8

Using the national flags.––You’re ideas are not only good ones,…but usually well thought out, logical, and useful. I believe most players would benefit from your suggestion for “national flag tokens”.
----For myself,…I’m very happy with having the national ensigns painted on the bases of all of my Infantry units for control purposes. This way I don’t need additional pieces all over the board.

Flags to designate armies to place on army cards off the board.

Yea that’s a bit more involved for me. I just want easy to pick up and accurate flags, as opposed to something where the air force took over the national flag department and used fighter roundels.

Very nice. Is there any particular reason why the Russian tank is flying the ensign of the Soviet Navy?

That matches up with an army (navy) off board card that I was using in the Barbarossa game. No navy in that so just used for army. No other reason.
