Prelude
The year is 1962, and the Union of South Africa hangs in a delicate balance. A monarchy without a monarch, caught between the monarchist Anglo minority, the German supported Boers and the increasingly radicalizing ANC.

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…
