The Battle of Gingindlovu | Zulus Vs British | Total War Cinematic Battle

[@manuelacosta9463]

That two man night time scouting mission must've been quite unnerving especially knowing thousands of enemy soliders are near. Dunn's near discovery was hair raising and his return across the river to his companion certainly was a breath of fresh air for them. Night with mist is the perfect combination for a swarming ambush.

[@cinematicbattles559]

I know he’s a madman swimming in those rivers at night too with all the crocs 🤣

[@jason200912]

Scouting is much easier in small teams because the chabce of them sending out a platoon to catch a couple scouts is not only dangerous for ambushes but also way too slow to ever catch

[@ragael1024]

imagine if the serbs actually used scouts before camping near the Maritsa river. these ppl did their job, and really good too.

[@letsgobrandon7917]

Loved the whole series. Thank you

[@cinematicbattles559]

Brilliant I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching

[@nauvelty]

imagine being a zulu soldier having never seen combat, and, at once, you see these guns firing down upon you, weapons and noises you've never heard of start firing at you and you continue charging forward. those men had balls of steel.

And systems full of drugs.

[@ericthompson3402]

​@@jessecaple170Are we talking cot? If not what would Zulus be taking?

[@jessecaple170]

@@ericthompson3402 no we're talking Amanita muscaria, plus some other additives. As stated by a shaman of the zulu historical society. The fly agaric gives you a powerful sense of invincibility...and that's from personal experience.🍄

[@ericthompson3402]

​@@jessecaple170Thanks! I'll take your word for it.

[@johndorney7812]

Most Zulus had heard and seen firearms before. Indeed most of them possessed a firearm, usually an old musket, in the war of 1879. But I do take the point that no warrior before the start of the 1879 war had faced massed firepower of a European enemy before. the last time Zulu army had done was against the Boers in the late 1830s.

[@zach7193]

It appears that the British learned their lesson from Isandlwana and were prepared for the Zulu in this battle with defense of wagons around their camp. British firepower held the Zulus at bay. British held their ground, Chelmsford recovers from the loss at Isandlwana and restored British fortunes.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

They certainly learned their lesson. This time they brought superior firepower with them.

[@StuartWhelan-up8vs]

Love watching these takes on past battles absolutely brilliant 👏 from Carlisle Cumbria England

[@Fyrd_Productions]

Cool video, what mods do you use?

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thanks! I’m using the khartum and Zulu mod

[@michaeljohnson5061]

Another great video thanks 🙌

[@jamesjacobson3966]

Charges are described as being conducted mounted infantry. The video appears to show cavalry specifically lancers however?

[@anti-Russia-sigma]

You should check what you’ve typed before posting.

[@steveh7823]

Pity about the incorrect pronunciation of all the place names eg. Tugela River should be Two-geh-lah

[@chrissheppard5068]

Its an AI voice.

[@steveh7823]

@@chrissheppard5068 I thought AI was smart😏. But it doesn't have an ear for the Zulu voice with its soft clicks and long vowels, maybe the most attractive language in Southern Africa (when it isn't angry).

[@NickFouladi11]

What did the British Army want with Africa or African tribes anyways?

[@scottjames1965]

These videos are outstanding. One minor criticism though. I find the leaves,etc blowing about in the air to be extraneous and distracting.

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thank you I'm very glad you enjoy them, unfortunately there is nothing I can do as this is a visual glitch with the game and mods that I'm using

[@biggusdickus9046]

Snowflake. lol

[@paultyson4389]

Well done. The animation is excellent and your commentary as well. Over the last year or so I have seen other animations of past historical battles that were absolute rubbish and appeared to have been generated by some sort of Ai . They claimed to have over a million views but there were few comments. I am glad to see they appear to have been culled out.

[@paultyson4389]

I actually spoke too soon. I just saw another one from the worst of them.

Thank you very good

[@cinematicbattles559]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@hiramabiff2017]

Needs a British narrator to fully do these posts justice. Not sure why they have changed to a American. But still great viewing and informative.

[@the5thmusketeer215]

The “narrator” will be an AI voice, surely - voicing a script - which is why some of the pronunciations are all over the place & why they also vary inconsistently throughout the narration - depending on the exact punctuation & abbreviations that are used in different parts of the script.

[@romelnegut2005]

I can't imagine what was going through Dunn's mind when he got close to the enemy. The adrenaline flowing through his body must have reached a level never experienced by him.

[@MrNaKillshots]

These are rivetting uploads 👍

[@Rundogz]

A night attack would have put spears on a much better footing vs rifles.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

What chance would spears have against rifles ?

[@Rundogz]

@@reynaldoflores4522 At night, a mass attack causes confusion and does away with the ranged advantage of a gun. It's why some units in WW1 opted for knives instead of guns for close combat in darkened trenches. The rifle user would be lucky to take out one attacker in the dark. After that it's spear vs bayonet

[@FuriousGinger76]

This is the 3rd Zulu v Brit vid I've watched and enjoying them but can't help noticing Colour Sergeant Bournes voice in every one! That man sure got about didn't he? 🤣😂

Hey man awesome video, what mod is this though?

[@cinematicbattles559]

The game is Napoleon Total War with the Kartum and Zulu mod

[@redyullayulla1055]

ZULU STRATEGY- 1). Bull rush cannon & rifle square head on with spears. 2).Misfire mystical boom sticks from too far away

[@johnduff9143]

Same strategy used later in the u s Civil War

[@ericthompson3402]

Anyone else wondering what happened to the 10 year old that got captured? Thrust into the middle of a horrible battle at such a tender age and surviving a crazy charge like that! Then taken in by the English navy to sail the seas. I wonder what became of him after that and how long he lived and whatnot. That would make for an epic biography and/or screenplay no?

[@cinematicbattles559]

Wow that is interesting thanks for sharing

[@stephennelmes4557]

I served 25 years in the Royal Navy, and this young boy's fate is well documented in Naval archives. He was given a naval uniform named Roger and worked tirelessly as a cabin boy.

[@gerardhogan3]

These are great graphics. I liked the lads on the 9lber. Looked realistic. The RDs landing into the advancing mob and a couple of bodies flying in the sky.

[@JoeCool_1962]

absolutely great

[@RobertStewart-i3m]

The Zulu lost a thousand out of 12. Imagine if they had maintained their spirit, getting just 500 inside the lager. The rest would've taken heart.

[@chrishamilton2527]

I would ask you sort out your pronunciation of various African names. It would greatly assist credibility. Even details like calling the assagai’s of the Zulu’s ‘spears’.

[@Radrook353]

That's worse than the Iceni situation under queen Boadicea against the Romans.

[@TheNorfolkman]

An impi was around four thousand warriors. If there were twelve thousand, it means that there were three impis.

[@brianbanks703]

clearly terrible litter in the air there 150 years ago, even though no trees or nearby town. Very odd

[@reynaldoflores4522]

Not a fair fight. British have cannons, rockets, gatling guns and breech-loading rifles. The Zulus only had sharp sticks.

[@johnvoice815]

You can only beat what's in front of you

[@martinp21000]

Zulu was my favourite film as a boy but it’s terrible what the British did. Rocked up and demanded subservience and land, and then killed because they didn’t get it.

[@sonnyb7612]

Isn't that exactly what the Zulus did also?
