After the disastrous defeat suffered by the British army at Isandhlwana over 4,000 Zulu warriors descended on the small hospital and supply station at Rorke’s Drift where 138 British infantrymen were building a bridge.
The defense of Rorke’s Drift shines brightly in the annals of the British Army and this exciting, fast moving game, in which 96 Zulus suffer no casualties while their constant pressure steadily decreases the original number of 48 defenders, is the most successful simulation produced by AML and has been described by one purchaser as the best wargame he has ever played.
