Black Powder Epic battles: Zulu! - Isandlwana
On the 22 January 1879, at Isandlwana, a force of around 20,000 Zulu warriors attacked the main column of the invading British army of just over 2,000 men, a mix of British, colonial, and native troops. Despite being armed with traditional iron spears and antiquated rifles, against the considerably more modern arms of the British, plus field guns, the Zulus achieved a decisive victory – defeating the first invasion attempt of Zululand. Bloodied and embarrassed, the British Army's reputation as invincible was shattered.
