GWX is already mostly setup to be generic so you need do nothing to have the MFM ships appear in it's convoys besides installing the MFM to your game install.

If you have an install that does not have a generic rnd file, i.e. NYGM, the MFM ships can appear in those too with a simple file edit to make the rnd file generic. Via notepad, choose edit/replace and replace "Class" with ";Class".
NYGM has a lot of MFM ships already in it's campaign but not all if one wants them all.

One can also manually install a MFM ship for each rndunit of each rndgroup desired. But that's a lot more work. This is what NYGM did, but they did it that way because that way the only ships in their campaign have had their ship damage/sinking mod editing done to them.
If you were to install the entire MFM to NYGM those not originally in their rnd file wouldn't have this damage editing if that matters.

Hope his helps.
