The Zulu War

Been after this for a while and its arrival is doubly welcome following the recent Mike’s Models 15mm Colonial collection

As is my usual modus operandi when embarking upon a new(ish) project, I carried out a quick trawl through eBay for some suitable background material. My library for this particular Colonial adventure takes frugality to new levels as it consists of three, now four, books! The volume you see above I was particularly pleased to get hold of as it is one of the more useful Osprey hardback compilations.

The title contains material previously published as Campaign series 14: Zulu War 1879, Elite series 32: British Forces in Zululand 1879 and Elite series 21: The Zulus. Written by the renowned Zulu War experts Ian Knight and Ian Castle and featuring artwork by the late Rick Scollins and the late Angus McBride, it is east to see what I was so keen to grab a copy of this 2004 publication.

The Zulus War collection I posted about recently - the unpainted horde of Zulus with a smattering of British and Boers - should be with me shortly so I will at last be able to enjoy some Colonial games (once the rebasing has been completed and the Zulus painted that is!). 

Needless to say, the Portable Colonial Wargame and Dominion of the Spear and Bayonet will feature once I get to the tabletop.
