Doesn't appeal to me. Quite an ugly looking piece. Certainly would not pay the asking price.

Not the best themed chess set I've seen. Better with a good quality chessboard with sets made up of Wm Britains Zulu War 1879 figures. Better still, is to obtain the game Feudal, which is a wargame based on chess moves using figures, though not from the 1879 campaign. It could however give others ideas for a Zulu War game, using the same chess-related concept, with the boards like those in Feudal, but adapted, i.e. marked out, for the Isandhlwana or Rorke's Drift battlefields.
