Good Afternoon Folks

Yesterday we refought the battles of Isandlwana and Rorkes drift which were even more poignant for the fact that it was the 138th anniversary

I have posted up part 1 – The Isandlwana aar on my blog and part 2 will follow soon.


nearly 1000 28mm figures on show.
Lots of pictures etc

Wow!! The game gives a good Impression of the steamroller effect of the Zulus..and with such Odds I´m not suprised the cavalry left the field.

Yikes, I couldn't even carry that many Zulus!
Impressive…doesn't quite do the spectacle justice!

Well done!

You should be proud of yourself. This is magnificent.

Wowee! Your game looks truly spectacular!

I was honored to participate in a smaller Isandlwana game here in Austin, Texas, also played on Sunday, Jan. 22. A TMP buddy has a very impressive collection of 25mm Zulus and Brits, so he hosted a game at his house. Our game wasn't an exact historical simulation. At least 400 painted minis were involved. The Zulus won, but got hurt bad, not unlike the historical battle.

Great looking game thumbs up

Played two zulu games last friday using tMWWBK. Both Zulu victories.
