Trouble in the Umphosi Valley

Zulus

2 units of rifles (12 figures each), one on the Kopje, one in the village.

8 Impis (24 figures each). 2 behind the left hand hill, 6 behind the right hand hill.

 

For every 2 bases lost, you may bring on a fresh base behind the village (wise to bring them on only when you have a complete unit).
