Zulu Wars wargame - after action report.
« on: March 30, 2016, 11:14:26 PM »
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.

Cheers

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.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.
