Outnumbered A Hundred to One - Yet Fighting Like a Thousand Heroes in a Hell Spot Called Batasi!

DramaWar

An anachronistic martinet RSM on a remote Colonial African army caught in a local coup d'etat must use his experience to defend those in his care.

VIBE

A suffocating, tense atmosphere grips this colonial outpost. Duty clashes with desperation as a rigid officer navigates a sudden, violent uprising. The air crackles with unspoken threats and the weight of empire crumbling.
