Scenario description:  Following up on the successful Operation Dingo a year previously, Rhodesian forces (SAS, Rhodesian Light Infantry, and the air force) launch another major assault against ZANLA guerrillas in the area of Mozambique referred to now as the Chimoio Circle. This time, ZANLA has wisely dispersed its forces and Mozambique's regular army units equipped with Soviet-made armored vehicles are stationed nearby to lend support.  Secretly attached to the Rhodesian SAS are troops from South Africa's special forces, the Recces.*

Note: This scenario is designed to be played with the human player as the Rhodesia/South Africa player.  The Rhodesia/South Africa player wins only if, at the end of the scenario, ALL victory hexes display the Rhodesian flag.  Any other result is a defeat.*

Note #2: There are three C-47's that can be assigned drop zones by the player after the game starts. If you wish to plot Drop zones on your own the delay will be approx 5 turns. If you decide to use one of the 10 priority hexes already on the map the delay will be one turn.
