That was a lot easier when the british had repeating rifles and the africans had spears. Now that every warlord with a funny hat gets a free subscription to AK 47 Weekly those odds have been evened, or tipped in the warlord's favor
Interesting to note that at Rourkes Drift the British were armed with whatever they had laying around and the Zulu were flush with surplus current issue Martini Henry rifles from the victory at Islandlwana.
There's speculation that the Zulu were unfamiliar with the sighting and etc which made them ineffective.
I've got an 1878 or 1879 dated Henry and it's a fascinating breech loading falling block type of rifle
Be British. Remember Rourkes Drift
