The Battle of Nyezane
« on: June 14, 2018, 07:15:32 PM »
The Zulus came out to play earlier this week in the Shed. We re-fought the battle of Nyezane almost straight from the BP Zulu supplement. A great game and very close.

Comprehensive AAR and gorgeous pictures!
Very realistic setup, you have the impression that a real battle is going on!
Haven't seen a river feature blending so beautifully with the terrain!
Thanks for sharing!

Yes, love the ground cover and river. Is your mat carpet?

Lots of lovely atmospheric shots there. I particularly like the one where the Zulus are in shadow but the sunlight is just catching them.  :)
