Fantasic game and one that i think every wargamer would love to play or be apart of, rules were Victorian Steel which worked a treat, game was fast and we managed to complete the game in under 3 hours, British held on by the skin of the teeth.
Terrain boards were created by our own Adrian from Grimsby who did a great job and even had the slope and cave plus ditch added for hidden movement for those sneaky Zulus.I think everybody knows Adrian for his talents of http://adrianswalls.co.uk/ .

Commanding a company-strength was Lieutenant Bromhead of the 24th Regiment.

When the Zulus attacked, wielding their short stabbing assegais, they were unable to reach the men behind the barricades and they were blasted by rifle fire at point blank range. Most of those who did mount the breastwork were repulsed by the bayonets of the defenders. Some of the Zulus were armed with rifles, purchased from unscrupulous traders, but they were not trained marksmen and the British soldiers were able to pick them off at long range.
