The residents of Cape Town, South Africa wake up to the sight of a large fleet of ships in the horizon. Then came the roar of the engines of large flying ships, not fully visible, and the drone of numerous aircraft. Within minutes, hundreds of landing craft head for the shore even as thousands of planes and helicopters fly overhead. The landing craft start to disgorge troops and armored fighting vehicles. The helicopters drop supplies and more troops, while the planes head further inland. While there is sporadic gunfire, strategic buildings and intersections are quickly occupied by the heavily-armed foreign troops clad in olive drab. As the rumble of tanks grow fainter, a sign that they are moving further on without pause, a dark blue flag with bright letters emblazoned on it is unfurled in the center of of the city.

The same scene plays out in cities hundreds of kilometers away, in Walvis Bay, Namibia to the North, in Durban, in Beira, Mozambique, and in Toilary in the island of Madagascar to the East. As the fast moving armored forces cross the border into Botswana and Zimbabwe, airborne forces in giant flying ships and aircraft drop on the city of Harare. In a lightning strike, AFOH has taken over Southern Africa.

________________________________________________________________________ Operation South Wind aims to forestall an advance by PANZER and take control of the mines in the region. It is undertaken by H Force composed of 18 super-warships, 8 attack carriers, 6 aviation battlecruisers, 18 heavy battleships, 18 battlecruisers, 36 heavy cruisers, 72 destroyers, 72 attack submarines and 1,200 combat aircraft. Each landing force has 12 dock landing ships, 12 escort carriers, 24 transports, 24 destroyers, 48 littoral combat ships/fast attack craft, and over 500 helicopters and close-support planes.

The 1st Air Fleet with 6 Dismal Regard, 12 Desecration, 6 Venator, 12 Devastation, 24 Revanche and 48 Themis, with 360 Cobra, 180 Durandal and over 1,200 combat aircraft flies overwatch. The AFOH 3rd Army commands the land forces composed of 5 corps (I, III, VI, IX and X) with 5 armored and 10 mechanized divisions, 4,000 tanks, 8,000 IFV, 2,000 self- propelled artillery, and 450,000 troops (including support units).

The takeover was aided by units within the armed forces of each country which were funded by AFOH to rebel and take over government installations. These countries (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Swaziland, Lesotho, Madagascar and the islands around it), under the guidance of AFOH, form the Southern African Union for closer political and economic cooperation. Their armed forces are then incorporated into the new Southern Africa Corps to help in border patrol and internal security.
