Title: Zulu wars

An Anglo-Zulu war mod would be cool. I don't know if anyone would be interested in making one, I know I can't.

I'm thinking the same thing :/
For no particular reason I'm thinking chopper but I think its just because of the Zuni Launcher. (Or zuna or whatever)

Zulu's are african tribe, that were famous for their brave and disciplined warriors. They had working chain and command and tactics, and they ruled large parts of southern Africa. Anglo-zulu war was between zulu nation and British Imperium 1879.

British troops with modern weapons defeated zulus which were armed with shields and assegais (assegai = short spear, used mainly in close combat as a melee weapon). Zulus managed to gain some victories (mainly because british commanders underestimaded their tactics), but didnt have a chance to win the war. Nowadays zulus still remain one of the southern African tribes.

Personally I dont think OFP would be good platform for this kind of battles (hundreds or even thousands warriors with spears against professional army armed with bolt action rifles).
