THE 1879 ANGLO ZULU WAR: A POTTED HISTORY & WARGAMES RULES - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Zulu War presents an opportunity for a highly colourful wargame between two very contrasting opponents. The battles that were fought show that whilst there was a certain sense of an inevitable British victory to the war, the Zulu army was certainly capable of inflicting a punishing defeat upon the British given an opportunity to unleash a co-ordinated attack using the classical fighting bull buffalo tactics. This book comes in two parts. The first is a potted history of the Zulu War of 1879. The second is a set of wargame rules best suited to 25mm or 28mm figures.The author became an enthusiastic wargamer in 1979, co-incidentally the hundreth anniversary of the Zulu war. At that time Mini-Figs of Southampton were rapdily diversifying their ranges of metal figures and when they launched their British Colonial range which included Zulus and red-coats in pith helmets, the chance to recreate wargames inspired by the 1964 Cy Endfield film "Zulu" could be realised.
