For those who don't know: The Rhodesia Bush War (or the Zimbabwean War of Independence or the Second Chimurenga) was a guerilla war between the unrecognised apartheid state of Rhodesia and (Pan) African Nationalist and Socialist/Communist guerilla organisations. To be specific: Zimbabwe African National Union with it's military wing the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army. And the Zimbabwe African People's Union with it's military wing the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army.

Rhodesia was supported by Apartheid South Africa, Fascist Portugal and Israel. ZANU got support from Maoist China, Communist Ethiopia and Communist Mozambique. While ZAPU got support from the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Eastern bloc countries and Cuba.

The war turned in a military stalemate and would and with the Lancaster House Agreement. After the war ZANU and ZAPU formed a coalition party together: Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF) and win the election in then Zimbabwe Rhodesia (Rhodesia changed it name after the Internal Settlement. The Internal Settlement was a peace plan before the Lancaster House Agreement, it didn't really work). ZANU leader and later leader of ZANU–PF Robert Mugabe would become Prime Minister (and later president), renaming the country to Zimbabwe.

During his presidency he turned Zimbabwe into a Pseudo-Dictatorship, with widespread election fraud and human right abuses (Because Africa can't get a break apparently).

The Rhodesian Bush War was one of the Cold Wars most dirty conflict.

Ps. Press "U" to switch the music on! (The music automatically get's activated after 100 kills, don't press U if music is already playing)

Pps. I didn't know if I wanted the ZU-23-2 Anti Aircraft or the DSHKM 1941 Sights to be ZANLA Anti-Air turret, I choice the (less powerful) DSHKM, because those where more common in this conflict. But of you want ZANLA to have a stronger Anti-Air turret, you can switch them around.
