Perhaps consider upgrading to a jet engine extractor?

May I refer you to Peeler's comments on the "urinals" thread?

Gary, I’ll be bringing three units, each consisting of 24 Zulus. I’ve also painted up their commander. Are we playing version 1 or 2?

That's excellent Jeremy, thanks. So we'll have 30 units of Zulus then . . .
Tbh I've not decided whether to use version 2. I quite like the command rules but there's so many house rules for the Rorke's Drift scenario I'll probably just make it up as I go along!

Hell, that's what about 1:6?

I’d say let’s use version 2, as I think they are an improvement on V1 and we’ll use your house rules regardless?

Closer to 1:5. Which means there should be around 28 British on the table to our 720 Zulu’s.

Scale is a bit 'elastic'. There'll be just under 100 British on the table. I have considered doing the British on a 1:1 scale with each figured named, but then I realised I didn't know the names of all the Zulus present . . . . . .

As far as rules go Jeremy, the only differences between BP1 and BP2 that will impact this game, as far as I can see, are those for generals and for fighting in buildings. I'm going to use some special rules for the former anyway and I think the new ability to fire 2 dice per face from a building might unbalance the scenario and mean the Zulus never actually manage to close. I'll have another read and decide.

All good Gary. I’m not prescriptive either way. As long as my assegais get to drink their full, I’m happy!

Let's hope Peeler doesn't get his assey gas into action
