Really nice looking table. There are some other tables worth looking at in the link you provided as well. |

Was this a game or just a diorama? Lots of figures. Looks nice. |

Aren't the British units too close together? I thought the defeat was caused (partially) by them being too spread out |

It was actually Ulundi rather than Isandlwana, Shardik (no British cavalry at the latter either). Looked even more impressive close up and, while it was a game, it was rather slow moving – certainly by day 2 of the show, the hordes were a lot closer to the thin red line than here. |

Shardik – you are correct. The camp was laid out very carefully with each company having an assigned position. This was never changed and, bring British, they of couse went to their assigned positions. When the battle started, several companies tried to reposition themselves, but were only partially sucessful. The main cause of defeat was running out of ammunition. The second cause was the breaking of a unit of the Natal Native Contingent (NNC). This unit occupied the knuckle of the L shaped line. When the Zulus got too close they fled. |
