Seeking to retreave stolen ammunition the British launch a surprise attack on a Zulu village. In response the induna spearheads a counter attack
The irregular horse under the direction of a major who had them race in far ahead of the army to grab the ammunition. They come u fer Zulu fire as they begin to pull back mission half complete.
The bulk of the Zulu impi strikes on their right horn chasing the fleeing horse and facing the naval brigade. On the British right a gatling gun rattles into life but only causing one casualty
Impetuous unmarried zulus crash into the British line and the major seeks cover as a second Zulu unit hits the line while its preoccupied with the first. Without being able to deliver any closing fire the British position falters
Someiw initiative slows the Zulu approach while the British safely deliver the ammunition back to their forces.
The irregular horse succeed in their mission but after coming under fire had only one horseman remaining. He gallantly rode back at the zulus forcing them back from the British line. He knew how the Zulu feel about cavalry.
A final bloodbath of various units as the naval brigade prove how good they can be at close quarters. The induna calls an early retreat (damn bad role) and the British thank their lucky stars as they felt their line was about to completely collapse
