Ulundi and Isandlwanna

Post by smjohnso77 »

Odenthius, your Ulundi and Isandlwanna battles are really tense and fun. Ulundi is balanced where each side can win. The Brits have no chance in Isandlwanna. I thought about experimenting with a square, but lots of fun. Thanks!

Yes, great work. I am playing Ulundi in multiplayer and think it's excellent. Love the way the Zulus appear gradually. :D

Blood River 1838?

Hey, Odenthaeus, Could a battle on Blood River in 1838 between the Zulus and the Boers be added to complement the other Zulu War games? Thanks.

I am playing Ulundi in multi-player and the Zulus are closing in on my square. I pray I can hold them back. God bless the Queen, the Martini-Henry, and the scenario designers!

660 Boers and servants with two cannon against minimum 10,000 Zulus just couldn't be made to work as a game (IMHO). You've seen what happens with Isandhlwana, I originally intended it to be a balanced game but it turned into a history lesson. The Zulus can win Ulundi, albeit at the cost of accepting massive casualties.
