Black Powder: Anglo-Zulu War – Natal Native Contingent Regiment

Original price was: £25.00.Current price is: £19.99.

Largely being used as support for the Main British forces in South Africa they became the main defense force against the Zulu forces. Recruited from the local populace, mainly from the Basuto and Mponso tribes, this force excelled in dealing with Zulu due to an extensive history of fighting them.

Given mainly menial labouring jobs they eventually saw action on the front with varying results, some fighting hard and to the last man alongside their British comrades, whilst others they broke alongside the NCO’s. In either case, even if they fight today or tomorrow, they will certainly fight to the last.

Providing support for the British army these loyal chaps are just the job whether you’re looking to refight Isandlwana, Ulundi, or the other battles during 1879.

Contains:

  • Enough plastic components to make 32 Natal Native Contingent.
  • A detailed Booklet containing the history and Black Powder profile of the Natal Native Contingent.

    Black Powder: Anglo-Zulu War – British Line Infantry Regiment

    , ,
    The average British redcoat was the most dangerous animal in Africa, equipped as he was with the Martini-Henry breech-loading rifle which he was capable of firing 15 times a minute out to 1,200 yards range in volley fire if needs be. His legendary discipline, his marching ability (enough to traverse all manner of terrain) and his determination to fight his enemies, which were legion, all made the British redcoat an implacable foe. Well led, well-equipped and thoroughly trained in their abilities, they blazed a trail for Empire all over the world. Cheerful and confident the redcoats of the County Regiments served their sovereign well, smashing their enemy with concentrated rifle fire and, if necessary, selling their lives dearly behind the thrust of their wicked long bayonets. These Redcoats models represent any British unit of the Anglo-Zulu War. Contains:
    • Enough plastic components to make 24 British Infantry with Martini Henry Rifles.
    • A detailed Booklet containing the history and Black Powder profile of the British Line infantry.
