Battlegames Zulu Special

by

A Zulu war game from the Battlegames magazine.

From the blurb:

This Zulu Wars game was directly inspired by regular contributor Dan Mersey’s “Well of Tarka” article that appeared in Battlegames issue 14 − also now available here on Wargame Vault as a low-cost PDF.

It just so happened that I had a participation game to run at a forthcoming show, and Dan’s article, originally set in the Sudan, inspired me to pillage it wholesale and transfer it to the Zulu Wars so that I could make use of my own collection.

The game ran at several shows, as well as with friends, and was a resounding hit, producing lots of excitement and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I hope that you enjoy it too!
