pass. He sent out cavalry patrols from his strong position at the northern end of the pass.
The western most of these patrols consisting of a squadron of
lancers and one of dragoons encountered and drove off a similar
sized element of Nabyssinian light horsemen. They were then
forced to retreat back to camp with the arrival on the field of a
larger combined force of Wazulu and Nabyssinians.

We went with a small skirmish
ReplyDeletegame this time around with four
equally sized cavalry units.
So there was a total of 20 figures
per side and done as a meeting engagement where they maneuvered
out of sight of each other until
they came around the hills and
could at last see the other.
Was a pretty simple battle done
to work out cavalry tactics.

Another good one there James!
Looks as if the main thrust
of the Wazulu and Nabyssinian attack is to the west....Interesting!
