Zulu War

10-09-2008

Woody was King Cetswayo with Jack as his helper they took on the Evil British invaders of Peaceful Zululand. Mr John, Billy Ray and Rob were the Brits.

This was an odd game in that there were very few units on the table only 6 British Cavalry units and 16 Zulu units. The British cavalry were to search for the ford of the river and get back off the table.

The battle was fought very well by both sides and Mr. John lost the 17th Lancers to the spears of the Zulus while Rob who had the Boers lost one of his units and Billy Ray with the Natal Mounted Police did fine.

The final out come was British had 4 VPs Zulus had 2 VPs.

I must say it was very small game and a lot of fun I hope everyone enjoined the smaller scale battle for a change.
