I am looking for a set of skirmish rules that would work for the Anglo-Zulu war which are a level down from TMWWBK. In other words, I am looking for a rule set that is based on the individual soldier/figure instead of a unit.

Any suggestions?

Two Hour Wargames hs several that might suit? But that is might eb 2 levels belwo Men Who Might Be Kings…

Featherstone's Skirmish Wargaming is right down at the individual level, possibly too detailed but worth a look. I've played the Zulu scenario and enjoyed it.

The old WRG Fire and Steel rules would work. We've also had excellent skirmish games using Fistful of Lead Horse and Musket… worked well for NWF skirmish games at a 1:1 level.

My Colonial rules are designed for this sort of game, and have a Zulu supplement link

@Herkybird Those look interesting.

I would check One Hour Skirmish Wargame Rules by John Lambshead. I have found them very good.

Fistful of Lead, originally written for western gunfights, is my go to for individual combat. There is also a supplement called Horse and Musket where you control a handful of miniatures: link

Another vote for One Hour Skirmish. Neat little game system. For larger forces than The Sword And The Flame.
