As some of you may know, I have been working on two armies for the Anglo-Zulu War, a Zulu force and a British force (obviously). For those of you not familiar with the conflict, I recommend the excellent film Zulu, which covers a tiny fraction of the war, (taking a few historical liberties along the way
).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raBNUUj1-fY
As it stands, I have enough minis done now to play a basic game and I'm thinking to add a couple more units in the next two months if I can. I'll be using the Black Powder rule-set with a few small tweaks to help get the flavour of colonial warfare, so if you've played BP before or it's siblings Hail Caesar and Pike & Shotte, there isn't much to it. If you haven't played BP before, but want to try out the game, then that's fine too. The rules are easy to pick up.
Before anyone asks, no, this won't be a recreation of Rorke's Drift, but something of a 'what if' scenario based on events during the war. I don't mind playing once in the morning and again in the afternoon if people want to give it a whirl. I'm happy to umpire 1 game, so I can accommodate up to 3 players. I will of course supply everything people will need for the game, down to dice and a tape measure if need be.
So, anyone interested? Or, in the words of the immortal Pikey. What say you, savages?
