"Zulu Brawn?" Topic

Today we had another Colonial war game set in the Zulu war of 1879. It was a bit of a nail biter! If you want to see if we or the solo system won, please go to this link

Enjoy! – I am off for a well deserved sleep now!!!

Never played one of those, looks Nail biting

That's the appeal of colonials. The few vs. the many. To get an even better feel, I view my 20 figure British unit as 100 men and my 20 figure Zulu unit as 1,000 men.

Indeed, its a niche interest for many, but a very rewarding period to play in!

"Because we're here, lad. Nobody else. Just us."

Nicely done— very tense, outcome in doubt the whole way. Great setup and pictures, too.

Thanks so much Parzival! It was fun!

Very interesting rule system.

Thanks Sydney Gamer! – If you have any questions please ask!

Don't you just love the cinematic drama and tension of a good Zulu game? It looked great and was very intense! Wonderfully done.

Indeed cavcrazy! Thanks very much for your kind comments to everyone!

Very nice. Great eye candy for someone that enjoys this period. Thanks.

I watched a video on TV that commented on the Zulu and culture.. I learned a few extra facts.
One was that Zulu warriors were very determined when pressing an attack home. If they returned home as a defeated warrior, they were executed. The most common method was to have their skulls bashed in by clubs.
I think I need to add +2 to their morale die rolls.

I wonder…there were a lot of defeated warriors in the 1879 war – so I wonder if the Defeatacide policy was from Shaka's time, or selectively enforced???
