Go to Board Game Geek:

and tpe in any subject you want. You will be surprised by how many colonial boardgames there are, and how cheap they are on eBay, once you have a title to search for.

Yup. Many out there. Try Decision Games. They have three games in a box, Peking, Zulu War, and the Sudan. Under the Excalibur label they have The Boer War and Rorke's Drift. Check Ebay for back issues of Strategy and Tactics magazine as they did a couple of games in the magazine, #200 had Campaigns of the FFL in it. #179 had the First Afghan War in it.

… And you're missing a real bet if you don't visit Khyber Pass Games! Nothing but Colonial titles, 19th and 20th century subjects. High quality graphics, too.

Worthington Games' Zulu War is a lot of fun.

Oops! Rorke's Drift. But I think the title might have Victoria Cross in it – search 'Worthington'

'Remember Gordon' on the battle of Omdurman.

The Worthington title is "Victoria Cross," and it's very good.

Victoria Cross is a good game.

Like Lions They Fought is another good one and covers the whole Zulu war:

Pax Britannica – the ultimate colonial wargame.

How I enjoyed that game.
