Anglo-Zulu War Zulu Starter Set

Description

Anglo-Zulu War Zulu Starter Set

The Zulu army was a formidable foe. Well-trained, well-led, and well-equippedfor campaigns, the Zulu regiments were the terror of Africa. Created by thegreat Shaka, founder of the nation, each regiment was composed of smallcompanies who trained together, and a regiment could be 1,000 men strong. Theywere then brigaded together to form divisions that could move at great speed andwith drilled precision, forming the classic Zulu attack formation of the Hornsof the Buffalo.

The military system formed units into married and unmarried units, so a cadreof young men would be forced to remain unmarried on the King's orders untilthey had ‘washed their spears’ in the blood of their enemies. They are armedwith throwing spears, smoothbore muskets and the deadly stabbing short spearwhilst their patterned ox-hide shields help identify their parent regiment.

Once they were blooded, and only then, would they sew in the characteristichead ring which is the symbol of a mature and married warrior, showing hismuch-enhanced status in society.

These then are the finest warriors of a fierce and proud army of 40,000 men,eager to preserve Zululand from all invaders, Swazi, Boer or British!
