Club night - Zulu Wars - Sharp Practice

A little but behind on posts but a great Sharp Practice variant at the Wyre Forest Club, with a British patrol holed up behind their barricades awaiting a relief column of cavalry to make an appearance. Way out front is our brave chaps hammering out range markers......

The Veldt may be wide but the Brits had hunkered down behind the suppliers and wagon boxes whist they awaited reinforcements.

At the far end of the table the column of cavalry appears but Zulu's were seen massing on their flank.

Lingering longer in the donga the Zulus sprang their trap heading for the Infantry before the cavalry could arrive.

The wagon train rolled on the Natal Mounted Police dismount to improve their firepower leaving the Sikali horse to hold the flank against the Zulu slipping from the donga heading for the camp, with others looking over to the wagon.

The horn of the Buffalo turns towards the column and straight for the wagon. 

Sweeping over the wagon and into the Police....

No further pictures were available at this time as the Colonial Commander was in no fit state to continue to record the tragic events..... 

Nice to get the Zulu's back on the table after quite a while, we used John Savages 19th Century tweaks along with the fervour element from Infamy to give the Zulu's a little more resilience. 

Great fun even if the British column had a terrible day in the field.
