It is the Player's task, as Commander of forces in South Africa, to squash these annoying rebellions and teach these uppity farmers a lesson.
OBJECTIVE: As the Commander of British Forces in South Africa, you must protect the British Settlements put down this rebellion by capturing their Capital of Pretoria before the Campaign Deck runs out.
GAME FEATURES: The game features a fun and simplistic method for resolving solitaire combat tactically, rules for Heroes that can make an impact on the outcome of battles, and lots of colorful game counters. It even includes rules for a potential Zulu uprising.
