ZULU!
The years 2008 -2011 have been very good years for Zulu War collectors (like my friend Papa Zulu - Joe Quintinni). Britains produced some excellent figures and accessories and then Conte released their superb Zulu line. Put 'em all together and you get battlescenes like the ones on this page. This page will start with the most recent images and then go back in time.

One of Abdul Aboulboul Amir's Beja infantry units helping to protect the oasis in our RED DESERT colonial campaign. These three battles were fought during January, 2009 and the reports are listed below:
Into the Desert The first game, played on January 3, 2009 at THE DRAGON'S LAIR in Pearl MS, in which the Anglo/Egyptian/Indian forces got a bloody nose.
The Imperials Strike Back! The second game, also played at the THE DRAGON'S LAIR, in which the Imperials defended the Missionary compound and generally shot up the Dervishes.
Searching for the Lost Lamb The third and last game, in which the Imperial players search for poor lieutenant Rigby-Figby who has wandered off apparently. Played also in Pearl MS, on January 31, 2009.
I haven't been able to paint at all lately as I have been in Abu Dhabi but I managed to finish my last four camel mounted Beja for the battles of 2nd El Teb and Tamai today. At my chosen ratio of 1:33 I need 18 mounted fugures to represent the forces involved and here they are. I won't need any more of these just the odd figure to use as a standard bearer for my infantry units. In fact the Beja cavalry was spread around the army in smaller units but if I reflect that organisation then we would only have units of two figures so, for wargaming purposes, I am going to use them as a "big wing" (or maybe two).
