Back to the AZW for SP2. An ox wagon full of mielie bags for scenarios. Warbases wagon and the rest from Colonel Bills

Nice kit

Thats going to look excellent. What mods are you using to do AZW with SP2?

Tinkering with ideas. Zulu as clan and causing double shock like Tomahawks. British as either Line or Light - need to test play a bit more

AZW British could be rifles under SP, unless it makes the zulus too hard to balance.

They have rifles, the line or light is more their classification for training

By the 1880s all british infantry were essentially napoleonic rifle style trained. Universal infantrymen.

It's one of the campaigns I've thought about for SP2, but the firing sequence is so critical to the mechanics, I am not sure that the rules work beyond the widespread adoption of breechloaders. The other thing that puts me off is the one sided view of the war. It's hard to find sources that will give you a view from the Zulu side of the boma.

I would be very interested to hear how it goes, will it be written up somewhere?

The 2019 Lard Special had an article on pushing SP into the late Victorian era - although I’m guessing you’re all over that already Jeremy?

I did read that, but didn't pay much attention unfortunately not on this device or I would check.
