Anthony and I played another Zulu War game with his Little Legion Collection. This time it was the battle of Hlobane – details on the blog. mikelewis.info/littlewars/?p=633 thanks Mike |

I love reading these reports and looking at all the pictures. Really a smashing looking game in every way. I was especially intrigued how you translated the unusual aspects of the historical battle to an abstract system like The Portable Wargame. Bravo on all counts! Daryl |

Thanks. Daryl, it is interesting trying to translate battles from systems that offer very limited or constrained command and control to something like Portable Wargame which has a very abstract open system where every unit can move. I have considered bolting on a PIP dice style mechanism for some scenarios to limit the players' options a little more. Mike |

Mike, Have you considered using the Commands & Colors ACW Battle Cry system? There are some fan generated colonial scenarios, including Isandlwana: link |
