The date is 11th October 1899, war has broken out between the Boer Republics
(Transvaal and Orange Free State) and the British Dominions of Cape Province
and Natal. The Boers initiated the war on the principle that its better to
attack them before they attack us (knowing war was inevitable), and to gain
the element of surprise. Their highly mobile Commandos have invested 
Mafikeng, Kimberly and Ladysmith. Can the British lift the siege or will 
their cities be starved into submission?
^
^Boer objectives: to maintain their independence
^British objectives: to gain control of the Witwatersrand Gold Field and a 
^route for their Cape to Cairo Railway
^German objectives: take advantage of British weakness
^Portugese objectives: keep out of the war
^
Will the British Empire join Cape/Natal in the war or force them to sue for
peace? Can the Boers rally the Germans to their cause? Will history repeat
itself? Only YOU can decide!
