Zulu game based on Khambula,

Last night we had a full house(except Brian who is still poorly) playing a fast and furious colonial game pitting British troops against a vast Zulu army.

Top photo shows the British position,bottom two show the Zulu army on the move,Dave was in charge of the British,Graham commanded the left horn,I commanded the centre and Paul commanded the right horn,of the Zulu army.

Top photo shows Graham's attack(doomed to failure!),bottom photo shows my attack(doomed to failure!!!)-where's Paul and his right horn??

Oh,there it is-a bit "tardy" lad!!

As we wait for mister "tardy",Graham and his left horn is making contact with the British defenders,but taking awful casualties,and my centre regiments are doing the same!!

I'm into the barricade,but have had to use my "reserve" regiments as my initial first two line have been shot to "s..t"-come on Paul!!!

Ah,there he is-a magnificent attack on three sides of the position,however it too was doomed to failure,and a British win was declared!!

A relaxed Dave surveying the damage he has done!!-This was a good game pointing out various things we need to take care of before we decide to fight the battle of Khambula on a national stage(read into that what you will!!)

Everyone at the club is painting like mad(I think we are anyway!) in particular,Graham is bashing away at his Napoleonics,Paul is bashing away at his 7YW Prussians,Dave is bashing away at Romans,and I am bashing away at my 15mm Romans and Gauls-we might just see the results of our "bashings" very soon.
