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).

These are awesome. I love the style.
Couple comments on picture accuracy, which I am sure is becoming annoying.
The Trans Siberian railway card looks like the train is being destroyed, though it is hard to tell. Not sure if that is what you want to convey. I thought you had a different pic for that, you must have changed it.
SP Artillery card is not really showing a SP Artillery piece. Looks like a German command car with some machine guns on it. This is what you are looking for, though something fitting your style of pictures:
Long range aircraft card is showing a picture of what looks like some sort of experimental German flying wing. To me that does not say “long range aircraft” and is a little misleading… but that is personal opinion. Maybe a picture of a P-51D with drop tanks would do the trick. Those are pretty popular so I am sure you could find one. Like this!
or this! a classic.

Ok look up Artscow.com. You can upload all these cards and they print entire deck of 52 cards for like $12. Its not different than how Djensen sells those AA t- shirts.
That way we get professional looking cards.
If you dont have 52 unique card ideas, fill the rest with tech cards, neutral army cards, etc.

Will do, gotta convert my illustrator file when I’m done designing it.

If you can’t tell if the train is being attacked or not, than that’s ok… as far as I’m concerned, its a train going through snow. I thought I would put a spin on long range aircraft with a futuristic concept (considering that it’s round #10 in the game), but I agree now with sticking to conventional perception. I like those suggestions, The SP artillery pic is what I’m looking for, I just wish it was Italian. Here are some more long range aircraft pics to consider…

Also found a better 1-400 class sub while looking for a japanese destroyer.

Or just double up your existing cards and get multiples printed in one 52 deck set…. saves some money right?

Here is one of a Semovente SPA (Italian)… they are the type that Field Marshal Games uses in their pieces.

It creates utility if you expand all the creative ideas and fill the deck with items that can benefit all global games. Generals, special units- Waffen SS panzer, Soviet shock army, 101 airborne, patton, Rommel, etc or make oob cards for each nation for NO’s or a card , tons of ideas are possible. Nobody needs 26 cards doubled info.
It’s freaking $12
Also, if you need help just ask.
