    Episode 4: The Secret Alliance

    In this fourth episode, Boer commanders review a daring new plan from Fritz to dramatically shift the war's outcome. By securing three disguised German steamships and building a desert railway line, they hope to bypass British forces and free thousands of captured Boer prisoners from the remote Atlantic island of St Helena. Meanwhile, secret diplomatic talks in Berlin between President Paul Kruger and the German Kaiser reveal an even larger ambition: uniting the entire continent south of the equator into a vast, independent federation

    Episode 3: Shadows of War

    Traveler Fritz takes his secret mission to the next level, bringing modern technology and satellite intelligence into the middle of the Second Boer War. As British forces begin destroying farms and homes to weaken the Boer resistance, Fritz secretly works with Boer leaders Louis Botha, Christiaan de Wet, and Koos de la Rey to create the hidden Field Secret Agency (FSA). With help from his Russian partner, Michael Vorkov, Fritz secretly brings modern aircraft, night-vision equipment, and powerful hidden weapons into South Africa. Attacks on British supply ships leave sailors terrified and confused. With no idea who is behind the attacks, many begin blaming the mysterious Tokoloshe. On land, Fritz takes a different approach. Instead of killing British soldiers, he uses a special gas that leaves them confused and unable to fight. Under cover of darkness, his forces then move in and take control of important railway forts and supply points. But Fritz's actions are beginning to change far more than the war in South Africa. Events in Europe, including the unexpected death of the Prince of Wales, show just how far these changes are spreading. For the first time, Fritz realizes that changing history may come with consequences he never imagined.

    Chapter 2: Economic Warfare

    Time-traveler Fritz shifts his strategy from direct military confrontation to systematic economic attrition during the Second Boer War. Realising that defending fixed positions against Lord Roberts’ overwhelming reinforcements is impossible, he guides Boer commanders Koos de la Rey and Christiaan de Wet toward mobile guerrilla warfare across the open veld. With access to covert Russian technology, modern surveillance drones and financial networks spanning centuries, Fritz and officer Mikhail Volkov equip specialist commandos with an unprecedented advantage. But after a devastating ambush exposes the horrifying lethality of advanced weapons, Fritz draws a firm line: unnecessary slaughter is not an option. Instead, the focus turns to railways, telegraph lines and supply convoys. Military doctrine shifts toward disabling rather than killing enemy soldiers, placing enormous pressure on British medical and logistical systems. Can economic warfare preserve lives and change the course of history?
