Fast and Furious(colonial game)

Brian,Graham and I had a Colonial game(Zulus vs British) last night,and,as usual, it was fast and furious!!



 Top photo shows the terrain map and scenario,bottom shows the Zulus hammering in their starting blocks!!-Brian commanded the British,whilst Graham and I commanded the Zulus.

A quick shot of Brian's rocket battery-very quick because it blew up on his second shot!!!-oh how we laughed!



Two shots of the fast moving Zulus-Brian's artillery did a bit of damage to the on-coming Zulu regiments,but it was the rifle and gatling that worried us most(the gatling "jammed" on its second attempt at firing(oh how we laughed),meanwhile a company of |Brian's British are retiring(its good being retired!) and blocking his rifle fire on my Zulus,but his main line is about to decimate my leading regiments.



Brian's strong defensive position facing my regiments is proving a hard nut to crack,meanwhile Graham is slaughtering the British on the hill facing him-hurrah!!



Top photo shows Graham pushing all before him,bottom photo shows my struggle against the barricade,however two of my regiments are out-flanking the British left-this could be decisive!



You can see the out-flanking regiments about to attack the British in the top photo,in the bottom photo(taken from the British side) you can see the British retiring(no,not going to say it!) back across the stream-all was lost for the British now!


A resounding Zulu victory-Brian did ask for a draw though!!!

We should have a full house next week,so looking forward to another grand game.

  1. Well done the “exploding heads” for turning the flank. Another embarrassing defeat for the politicians back in London. Cheers, Chris
