I've always had a fascination for this period, I guess like most wargamers from watching the film ZULU as a child. Of course the reality of that action and the war if was part of is somewhat different from the fiction portrayed on the big screen. As a starting point for this project I have tried to just focus on the units that were at Isandlwana but as time permits I will add to and build on this. All the figures are from Baccus 6mm.
