Zulu War Ambush

[SteveBurt]

We had our first game using 'Death in the Dark Continent'. The 'Ambush' scenario with a British column being attacked by Zulus as it proceeds across the veldt.
A good game, and we are pretty happy with the way the rules work; both sides have interesting tactical decisions (although neither side could rally off disorder; out of perhaps 40 d6 rolled to do that, I think we had about 3 6s).
The combination of attrition and the occasional base loss works well. It seems a bit strange that the fighting ability of a unit is independent of how many bases it has (shooting is per base, so that does degrade as you lose bases). However,in practice it seems to work quite well.
A shot of the action late on, just before the British broke....
