Well I just came back from my library of knowledge and found that I've eight books ont he subject, two of which are Ospreys being the uniform books. Nine if you include Victoria's Commanders which makes it three Ospreys.

I too was sadden by the loss of David Rattray as he gave so much to the community not only for tourism, but his own indepth knowledge on the subject matter.

This has been a good conversation here.

Thanks guys.

Helen
Best wishes,

Yes I do have Zulu and Zulu Dawn of which my favourite of the two is Zulu Dawn.

Same, I never really enjoyed Zulu that much. They're both far outclassed by Monty Python's Zulu War sketch though;

These Empress miniatures are becoming harder to resist... ::)

Great stuff those figures. Exactly what I was talking about in not just going for the basic obvious poses. And what you have planned for future release sounds wonderful too. Once I have finished my Sudan armies I shall certainly be delving into this in a big way.
