The Zulus start to gather....we had 820 Zulu figures on the board
British needed to clear the ford & advance, intact, to the plateau to win.
1000s of them....
British were pinned after their initial moves as Zulus erupted out of a donga
The kraal. Extra points if the British burned it (never got within a stone's throw, however)
A dreaded donga. Hidden movement meant the Zulus could be anywhere.
Ultimate British success was from tightly co-ordinated movement with mutually supporting fire.
And many Zulus entered too far from the action to make a difference
A bayonet, some guts behind it & a lot of hard work
