Play the Isandlwana Scenario!

11/7/2019

Are you ready to test your mettle against the oncoming Zulus swarming over the hills? Or perhaps you want to unleash the "horns of the buffalo" to crush the thin British line and wash your spears in blood! As always, we're offering you the chance to play the exact scenario you watched on Little Wars TV with your friends at home. This particular game requires some tweaks to the mechanics of The Men Who Would Be Kings, a set of skirmish rules from Osprey Games that Steve turned into a mass battle system. In addition to the scenario below, be sure to also download Steve's rule revisions! You will need both PDFs to play our scenario.

UPDATE (11/13/19) We've also added the quicker, Quick Reference Sheet we use to play MWWBK in our club! This version fills in the gaps missing from the official QRS in the book and is our condensed version of a QRS we found online, made by "Arteis02".

Awesome! thank you so much for playing a battle from the Anglo-Zulu war and posting your rules changes. I hope you play some other battles besides the big two- Rorkes drift & Isandlwanna. (but Im happy to see them as well! ) Gigindlovu, Khambula, Ulundi, others.
thanks again!!!

If you Google "Bearhug Co" you can find 4 "Zulu Battle Games" (folios) that were published many years ago including NAKA & ULUNDI & ROURKES & ISANDLWANA - I think one is at 2nd Chance Games in England that I found - check on Ebay too ! Worthington Games' "Victoria Cross" also has 2 of these battles in it and plays well !

Steve, on the army list, uNokhenke's force is listed under both Chest and Right Horn - which one should it belong to?

They are part of the chest.

Hey guys, dont mean to hijack this thread, but I've placed a couple of questions on your D Day thread? Are you able to answer those please?

Great review team! Pardon if I've missed it, but I can't seem to locate the QRF sheet mentioned in the video. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks again!

For all those who asked--we did not originally post Steve's revised QRS, but it is now also available!

Was amazed at the scale of the battle, great viewing. Have downloaded mass battle revision and wondering how I could use that to fight the Maori land Wars.

Is the basing for your 6mm stands the same as in the MWWBK rulebook or did use different dimensions?
