Nitpic here...but the rifles used by the British were not muskets. They were single shot breach rifles so they should be firing a lot faster.

Martini Henrys to be specific

So the first part is basically the Kobayahshi Maru no-win scenario, just to set up the Rorke's Drift finale? Nice!

[@chasesmith3655]

If this is the first or second-time Rimmy played this mod, it took him a damn while. especially for a history buff, and I remember when I played that mission with friends I had 2 guys clip out of bounds and the Zulus had to hunt them down because they kept ruining away they fought till the end.

[@blankblank8424]

One thing that does bother me is the reload animation for the rifle seems to be the animation of a mussel loader while they would be using the Martini-henry which is a breach loader.

[@Keranite]

That in-game voicing reminds me of Total War Empire. I swear the way the British say "Your Majesty" and stuff like that sounds exactly like the other strategy game on my mind...And 4:39 "Prepare the Troops for Battle" is definitely one of those voice lines.

[@sawyerawr5783]

Actually impressed how realistic that was. IRL, if I recall at least, the Zulus did get into the field hospital: at times the British troops were firing through the walls inside to kill enemy warriors the next room over.

[@CentralAftermath]

I'm fairly certain the Zulu did not get the guns from the British lmao. They had a bunch of old weaponry by the standard at the time prior to Isandlwana. The more modern guns they had were taken from the British at the Battle of Isandlwana which they went on to use at Rorke's Drift.

[@AimlessSavant]

Trade with the Boers, and other colonials gave them guns.

[@bigangenbygang]

Also by then they were handmaking some firearms too, can't forgot that. Some of those more traditional African early firearms are really cool and well designed.

[@CentralAftermath]

@@AimlessSavant Yes, no doubt where they got their more antiquated firearms from.
