That'll teach me to read what I write

[garyp]

Maybe we can have a vote? I'm happy with any of the options so what would you guys prefer?

[Jeremy]

I really don’t mind. From memory you wanted Nyezane as you thought it would provide a bigger, more balanced game

[garyp]

Isandlwana is pretty big! Mind you, ideally for that we need a couple of hundred more Zulus. Rorke's Drift is a fun battle with lots of opportunities for more of a role playing game. I've run Rorke's Drift about a dozen times and it's always fun, and close. Nyezane is more of a tactical challenge for the British as their forces are strung out across the ford and so it's not just a 'stand and fire' type action

[Jeremy]

I really don’t mind Gary. I’m just keen to play!

[garyp]

Do you have any Zulus Jeremy?

[Jeremy]

Not painted. I was going to paint some up. I have a month, I could maybe bang out 40 or 50 if you need? I was going to paint some up but at the time you thought we had enough

[garyp]

Don't really need any unless we do Isandlwana

[Tim Hall]

Sorry I didn't mean to throw a spanner in the works, I wasn't aware of a change of plans. I'll happily go with the majority. I just thought RD would have been a more fun game, with a bit of role playing and narrative and with the Zulus being umpire controlled sort of thing.

[garyp]

No spanner at all Tim. RD is great fun and still gives those who want to play Zulus some interesting challenges
