I want to do a run as the Boers/ South Africa, and am wondering what mod would be best to do it in. I just tried a vanilla game as Transvaal, but 1) vanilla's representation of the Boers is ahistorical (Oranje and Transvaal already existing on game start), and 2) I gave up after the Brits beat me to killing the Zulu (I killed Oranje but still only had 1 brigade, which I don't think I could've taken on Zulu's 9 brigades with even with a tech advantage).
As far as I remember, from when I played Vicky regularly years ago, HPM doesn't have the Boers existing at the start (and I don't really want to play a few years as the UK to get the event), but HFM has Zoutpansberg at game start. So I'm thinking HFM, but I'm just wondering if any of the mods that've come out over the previous years have a better Boer experience (without adding loads of bloat)?
