}}The '''South African War''' (or '''Third Boer War''') is an African conflict between the Union of South Africa and the Afrika-Schild starting in November of 1963.
While officially fought between South Africa and the Afrika-Schild, the [[Organization of Free Nations|OFN]] can send volunteer units and equipment to South Africa, while the [[Einheitspakt]] can send support to the Afrika-Schild, provided Germany is done with the [[German Civil War|German Civil War.]]

South Africa will become nothing more than a German puppet. On the other hand the ANC’s most radical members have begun pushing more and more for a [[Socialism|Pan-African]] agenda, as those least radical are calling more and more for the removal of the oppressive apartheid. To make matters worse, the three Reichskommisriats, [[Reichskommisriat Zentralafrika|Zentralafrika]], [[Ostafrika]] and [[Sudwestafrika]], are eyeing South Africa with increasingly gluttonous eyes, as they actively support Boer paramilitary groups, in an effort to destabilize the fragile union. And so, at the beginning of 1962, the player faces a difficult decision: either stay neutral between the ANC and Boers, try to negotiate with the Boers or dissolve apartheid and try to ally with the less radical ANC members against the inevitable Boer and German onslaught…▼
