Beginning in 1964, the African Nationalist organizations ZANLA and ZIPRA fought to end white minority rule in Rhodesia, which had unilaterally declared independence to prevent the British government from forcing a transition to majority rule. The Nationalists were successful, with Rhodesia becoming modern Zimbabwe. During the war, ZANLA received limited support from Communist China, while ZIPRA received Soviet aid. A large number of foreign volunteers, of which many were veterans from the Vietnam War, fought on the Rhodesian side.

is it possible for the bad guys to force a win or does team A just have to give up

With the capture limit, the Rhodesians needs to capture every building in the country to win.
