That all looks rather magnificent, especially the ‘other shed’. I wonder what percentage of wargamers were inspired by ‘Zulu’?
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Slightly less than by Waterloo, but many.

I'm definitely in that group, that movie inspired me to make a hobby out of collecting and painting toy soldiers, and gave me an interest in Victoria's wars and the men who wore the redcoat. And thanks to GaryP I have had the opportunity to command some of the defenders of Rorke's Drift, wouldn't have missed it for anything.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

A tad late, but many thanks to Gary for putting on & running a top hole quality very much enjoyed game. And thanks to the other players too, especially EB whose impis were destroyed by my Mr Bromhead & his three sections holding the south wall. It was at times very close to call & I was surprised not to be overrun in short order. Well done all. 😁
