Wargaming the Zulu War: September 2011
http://zuluwargames.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wargaming the Zulu War. Friday, 16 September 2011. I was most impressed by the one to one Isandlwana display at Colours at Newbury last week. The figures weren't that brlliantly painted but the sheer number (around 3,000) gave an excellent idea of what a small (! Colonial engagement looked like. It certainly gave me pause for thought as regards how many figures I needed to paint to to recreate this batttle. I have been thinking about 1/10 but this set-up offered 1/1 as regards numbers. It was many years ...

Wargaming the Zulu War. Wednesday, 26 August 2009. Wargames Factory plastic Zulus. I, at last, managed to pick up a pack of these at Orc's Nest today. I have not been very impressed with.

The first holds five different legs/torsos and 18 arms. 12 of the latter are right arms and six are left. There are 9 distinct heads...

http://zuluwargames.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wargaming the Zulu War. Monday, 20 June 2011. I saw this in a local garden centre last weekend and should have bought it; although he is carrying what looks like a Lee-Enfield rather than a Martini Henry. The black facings come from the film. I think, where the recent digital remastering has turned what was a very dark green into black on the otherwise stunning looking blu ray. Thursday, 9 June 2011. First unmarried Zulu regiment completed: the umCijo. Next I will paint a brown shield regiment but am not...

Wargaming the Zulu War. Wednesday, 22 January 2014. 50th Anniversary of the premier of Zulu. Even if I haven't painted anything Zulu Wars for a while I can't let the 50th Anniversary of the release of Zulu. 1964) pass me by. This was, by a considerable margin, my father's favourite film and is probably one of my top three too. There is a 12 page feature on the making of the film in the current issue of Cinema Retro. And news that an expanded version of this book is being released later this year. I think...
