A quieter day at the club. Most Friends probably saving themselves for the big end-of-year game at the next meeting!
28mm Anglo-Zulu War – Battle of Nyezane – Black Powder with Zulu Supplement.
An exciting encounter based on the scenario from the Black Powder, Zulu supplement, based on the Battle of Nyezane, 22 January 1879. A Mixed Imperial force was attempting to cross the river when it was attacked by a large force of Zulus.
The Zulu centre and left horn crushed the British right wing, destroying the Mounted Infantry, and the Naval Brigade with their 7 Pounder and Gatling Gun . The British left wing held its position on the north bank of the river, waiting for the Zulu left horn to advance. With the sun setting, Captain Kurt led a brave charge by the remaining Imperial cavalry, catching the centre of the Induna Impi in the flank and killing the Zulu leader. The Zulu right horn finally committed but, after seeing the commander cut down, their final charge fell short allowing the brave men of the Buffs to cut them down with disciplined volley fire. The Imperial army was able to continue its march on Zululand.
This was a fun read and the minis look great.
