Today is the anniversary. Well, the 22nd and 23rd, that is.
Anyone currently gaming, painting or building Zulu War terrain lately?
-
A friend is hosting a big game using his collection of traditional toy soldiers. Sadly I can't make it, but I promised to yell "Zulu!" very loudly.
-
I think we are doing a Zulu wars game on Saturday.

Bugger! Missed it again! I keep trying to remember to do a Zulu game on the anniversary, but forget every year >:(
Too late to get anyhting organised now :'(

Well, you've got 9 years until the 140th anniversary, and that should be enough time even for the most "average" (read, procrastinating) wargamer to get something organised!
-
with all the Zulu threads here lately gamers will only need to gather around some proper scenery - I guess everyone knows the battles by heart now ;)
Smokeyrone, if You like Zulus, just try the search button, there will be plenty to be seen
-
problem is, I might get a Zulu army done in 9 years, but if I'll be able to game in 19 years?..... ;)
-
Cloning is already possible.
By that time I'm sure we will have a tribe of former users eager to take up the challenge.
Now, don't either of you get this wrong, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAN, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!! lol ;)
-
I can tell.
as if one was not enough already....

I'm currently working on a few Zulu War miniatures, just finish John Wilcox's 'Horns of the Buffalo', have started reading Adrian Greaves 'Rorkes Drift' and I'm planning a game tomorrow :D
I have to admit that I didn't even realise the significance of the date as one day has been blending into another lately...
-
Bed, I already searched the Zulu threads here, as Zulu gaming is my co favorite genre, along with Sudan and NW Frontier and zombies.
;)
I like putting on the helmet, grabbing the martini and pretending I'm surrounded and out of ammo. :D

Who cares if you're out of ammo if you've got a decent martini to pass the time! ;) :D
I'm still toying with the idea of doing a bunch of Zulus, but knowing me I'll probably end up with merely two dozen which will then be used as stand-in natives for other colonial games. I actually still got a bunch of BTD Zulus lying around (which I got in a swap in 2005 - gosh, has it really been so long!), and some Old Glory(?) Colonial Brits...

I prefer mine straight up and with a twist. ;)

shaken or stirred? 8)
certainly goes with the colonial attitude ;)
actueally there is the Foundry servant with the bottle and tray (that unfortunately isn't available as single miniature, cause I'd need some), and also some butler types
but sadly no proper glasses and bottles to outfit a bar....

They don't like it up 'em!

LOL! Funny stuff! I have a copy of those rules, and my GF found out, and would sneak up behind me, administer the dreaded "Rear Admiral" (That goose like jabbing hand thing!) and say, in her awful British accent "They Don't Like it Up 'Em!" LOL!
My sisiter, back in '01, found a "Lunger" from the period, miscategorized on EBAY. Got it for a steal.

My son & I had a brief ceremony this afternoon (brief as in, he squeezed into the Guards uniform he got two years ago just long enough for my wife to snap this photo):

As for the Martini, make mine a Bradford, shaken like there's no tomorrow!

Managed to watch both Zulu Dawn & Zulu before having to go to work this evening too.

I know, it is not accurate, but, you think "Zulu" when you hear it:

How old is she? She looks about 12?
Tommy, BAD ASS! Your boy done great!!!!!!
-
She's in her early-mid twenties, has two kids with her Welsh rugby player boyfriend, and she hosts her own foul-mouthed chat show.
That's an old clip.
-
It saddens and hurts me that such a sweet girl, with a great voice, turned into a sleeze with a filthy mouth, and bad attitude.
:(
lol lol lol
Thanks Plynkes, I didn't know that.
Well, it's also New Orleans Saints Day
What do we do, put away the Martini and IPA, and grab a Budweiser and some fried pork rinds?
(nah, I'll have a Tecate) :)

Maybe next year the Zulu War collection will be finished. I've painted over 3,000 Zulus and the entire centre column and Durnford's column - about 4,500 so far. All that needed is to finish the basing, like a fool I painted the figures and stuck them on the bases and then lost heart for too long - now its a mammoth job I can't face. All in 15mm.
