NOTES

1. North African Infantry Divisions were made up of Zouave's (ie white conscripts from North Africa) as well as units of Algerians, Moroccans and other colonial "native" units.

2. The North African Infantry Divisions were numbered as follows: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th 82nd, 87th, and Moroccan.

3. Staff Telephone Wagons can be used to give orders only to units which were emplaced at the start of the game, and which have not moved since then.
