Anglo Zulu War

[fred.]

A basic stand at 30x30 is 1 unit for fighting / casualties. A 60x30 is 2 , a 60x60 is 4 . Each unit is made of 2 1's , 4 2's , and multiple 4's depending on unit size . It allows easy casualty removal , formation shapes etc . Zulus are essentially melee troops . On initial melee contact the Zulus fight with the same number of bases as the imperial which are all 30x30. If it goes to a second round the deeper and wider Zulu stands start to fight - unless imperials are in barricades or square .

That is a smart way of dealing with basing for this volume of figures. 


Rules make sense, and I suspect once it gets to round 2 and the Zulus get all their extra bases to fight, its game over for the red coats!

Yes indeed . If imperial firepower can kill 1/2 the front stands of a Zulu regiment in a turn the forward movement is stopped until they are urged forward again. Our ranges and movements are large as we are lucky to have very big tables to play on

Impressive painting speed and a very smart way to base

Thanks

And my gaming bud Martin has finished the Imperial invasion forces



Now all I need to do is fall on one of those 4 columns - hmm Isandlwana looks a nice place

The Imperial Invaders are looking good too - plenty of baggage and animals as well.

Looking forward to the games.

That should say get a game on ... but hey !

[Deedles]

They all now fit in my new RUB insert trays . These are 26mm high externally , 24 mm internally . 5 fit into a 9 litre box .  Made up by the Pendraken laser guys . Just a bit of superglue and all done . Turns out I have space for a few more regiments yet .

Looks good! I do like a good storage inserts 

I've used ones from Commission Figurines which come in a range of depths, sized to fit 4L and 9L RUB, they are a great way of getting a high density of figures in a box. 

Leon - will Pendraken be adding these to the catalogue?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Are they on the website, need some for my Mahdists
