ZULU!

Sorry all that this is so late. Been busy with different things and really slacking on my updates. Our mid February game was a Battle of Rorke's Drift. We had one figure for ever two British Soldiers historically at the battle and a massive number of Zulus. The Buildings where hand made by Gareth and looked stunning. The fallowing photos are in the order of game play so wont include much commentary.

Hospital is in danger.





Hospital set alight.

Surrounded on all sides my a sea of chanting Zulu.









Brave men waiting for the hord to charge.




Zulu close the gap into the face of British rifles.





The order is given "spit boy spit" and men fall back to the Rubout.





The brave soldiers make a last stand with bullets, bayonets, and guts.
