Not bad, touch naive,which in itself is not necessarily a bad
thing!, but the ratio of red coats to Zulu's does not work for
me.. needs three times more Zulu's to convey the concept
of the regiment being overwhelmed by vastly Superior
numbers. just my opinion, not a serious critique by any
stretch. but interesting to see. xhosa

I agree, the scale seems wrong. number and positions of wagons etc.

I dont mind it but wouldnt pay 89 GBP's ! . Not quite enough Zulu's , and as Springy has intimated numbers and objects arent to a numerical scale . Salute
