We played three more games of TMWWBK at Tring last Friday. A write up is on the blog http://tringwargames.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/gaming-in-colonial-africa-2.html
These rules a proving so popular at the club, almost everyone who has played them has purchased a copy.

That photo looks like Balkan Wars Turks giving Shaka the Montenegrin something to think about.
Looking good

They are written for 28mm but you could play them in any scale. Anything below 20mm I'd either reduce the ground scale, or else use multiple figures on a base. Just think of masses of Pendraken Zulus! ;D
