Title: Zulu Wars wargame - after action report.
Post by: Brian Smaller on March 31, 2016, 12:14:26 AM

Hi

My mates from Wellington were up for a weekend of overeating, over-drinking and over-gaming. Nailed all three.

I was umpire and the four players (novices to Black Powder and Zulu Wars) commanded.

A fun read, thanks.  I use Black Powder for colonial as well (Sudan) and love the mixed horror & hilarity of command blunders. Hope your friends enjoyed it.

Your Zulus look great in mass.
Hoards of them, just like the movies.
Looks like everyone had a great time.
Did the dogs enjoy lunch? ;)

The dogs always do. Human-food leftovers are the best.

I love the mass effect of Zulus. That is why I went for 36 figure standard units for Zulu and 16 figure British.

Nobody hoards Zulus. You spend them prodigally.
