Overview
The Me-323 heavy transport is an incredible German transport
aircraft you can add to your arsenal in Global War – 2nd edition. This
set introduces rules for air transports which will serve as the basis for
future expansions. We also included some units that you can
transport in your new aircraft.
Historical Board Gaming’s line of 3D printed sets are designated in
rules as “TPD” followed by a letter (TPDA, TPDB etc…) so you rules
can be referenced in future expansions. This set is TDPBb – our
second edition of this set. Players of Global War 1939 and Axis &
Allies 1940 will find modifications needed to play those game systems
in the Appendix

non-combat movement only. An air transport can move and pick up
passengers but must land when it delivers its cargo. An air transport
is always chosen last in combat. An air transport may not land on an
aircraft carrier. Some air transports may be used to deliver
paratroopers in combat movement. Such delivery is subject to antaircraft fire and air superiority combat per Global War -2nd Edition
rules.

the Me-321: an oversized glider designed for the German invasion of
Britain. This large transport could carry an 88mm gun, half track or
medium tank. The heavy aircraft could take a lot of ground fire and
stay airborne however the heavy framed aircraft had a range of only
about 500 miles.

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.
