APPENDIX A : GLOBAL WAR 1939 / Axis & ALLIES

If you are playing the 1st edition of Global War or Axis & Allies 1940 these rules should be fairly compatible. Since these systems do not have Light Armor, allow them to carry one mechanized infantry instead. TDPB APPENDIX B : STRATEGY NOTES

Me-323: The Me-323’s high transport capacity makes it a great way to ferry troops to reinforce your positions. It has an ability to bring more (and more powerful) units to a fight make it helpful almost anywhere you need them. The Me-323 could reinforce an invasion of England, move troops to North Africa, or solidify your gains in Norway or the USSR. Further information on the Me-323 HERE
