Anglo-Zulu War 1879 in 20mm - The Zulu army at Isandlwana. After finding the Anglo-Zulu Wargaming group on FB I decided to rebase my Zulu army according to Battles for Empire 2 rules which allows the big basing I prefer. Black Powder is a generic set of rules to cover the period of 1700-1900 (even the English Civil War with some modifications). Now I have chosen the Zulu War as it is a contest between radically different armies, hordes of spear armed Zulus against a small professional army of British with effective rifles, artillery and cavalry.

Free Wargames Rules from Herkybird. Herkybird's Nest. This is the home of my various rules systems. About 10 years ago, I began to write my own skirmish rules, as I was not tempted by several commercial sets I had tried. A great game. It took seven hours to play out what would have probably been a 30-40 minute encounter in real life. The rules system can still just about manage a game of this size, but really only just. Any bigger, and my Zulu War games will need another rules system. Mar 20, 2018 The Zulu War presents an opportunity for a highly colourful wargame between two very contrasting opponents. The battles that were fought show that whilst there was a certain sense of an inevitable British victory to the war, the Zulu army was certainly capable of inflicting a punishing defeat upon the British given an opportunity to unleash a co-ordinated attack using the classical fighting.

I like Clash of Iron for Zulu war although it was written for ancients. | |

I have a simple two-pages set (Pz8 Colonial) in my website @ David: cool, the sprue Zulus! | |

I have a free set on 10mmWorld.com (look under Articles), which I really should move over to the Free Wargame Rules site. They are for fighting larger actions very quickly, but give a good feel for the ebb and flow of the British need to maintain a static firing line and the Zulu need to advance and flank. I've been happy to get reports of groups other than ours enjoying them. Cheers, Christopher | |
