Well done.  Though Khambula was probably the battle that turned me away from the Zulu War - I decided the war was little more than mass murder, Islandwhana notwithstanding.  But man, it sure is cool to look at, especially the 24th - though I don't recall that the 24th was there (?).

Thank you guys - the comments are appreciated

- I decided the war was little more than mass murder,

- totally agree by today's standards. Everytime we play these games my admiration for the Zulus grows.
