The Battle of Rorke's Drift: Can You Play "Zulu" Without Singing THAT Song? (war game)

‪@TheDieisCocked‬ In our most ambitious episode to date, we refight the Battle of Rorke’s Drift from the Anglo-Zulu War, played using 28mm figures and rules that are a Colonial variant of Warhammer 40K. This episode is a loving tribute to Zulu, one of my favourite movies, but we will NOT be singing THAT song! Or at least I will try really, really hard not to… This is the last episode of Season 1 of The Die Is Cocked. Mrs The-Die-Is-Cocked and I hope to see you again in September 2026 for Season 2. Have a great summer! And I would like to give special thanks to Little Wars TV for all their help in starting this channel. They are a great bunch of guys!
