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).
Larry Harris's 41 Global set up

I tried it for the first time and it was cool to see a competely different set up, I enjoyed the game, played as the Allies and we had the victory.
Russia got lucky when Germany went a little flat and held out, Japan was a hurting unit toward the end.
Try it some time, it’s a good change of pace. Now to try to find his 42 set up and see what it looks like -

I’m guessing that’s what you are refering to?
But it’s not from Larry? Or is it?
-
homebrew games baby!
I played it once, it was fun, it can be a much more action packed game.
-
It’s oztea’s, not Larry’s.

It would be nice for Larry and his team to come out with an alternative senerio, because my group won’t play anything unless it comes from him.
-
He and Kreighund are “not coincidentally very busy”. So who knows what they are working on.
If only KH could leave us a smiley in this thread. :)

That looks cool! I want to try it soon.

LOL, so that means no variants? :-(

Not in my group games, but I have a couple of one on ones that are more flexible.

Ok cool
I always like doing Variants. -
I’ve been waiting to see an Invasion of Japan game on the Ikusa game board. I would do it but I’m very lazy about doing it.

I edited the starting setup for the newest g40 version on tripleA to match ozy’s version. I had trouble puting infantry on transports with japan in 36 and 37, so i put 2 extra inf in hainan and siam. Just assume they are already preloaded. What do u think?
-
also, i put an american aa gun in szech since it does not allow me to place chinese aa guns.
-
Sry bout that, i forgot a few changes, here is the revised version.

I guess ill get to work on a 1941 and 1940 setup for the 1942 2nd edition……
