Zulus on the Ramparts! Second Edition is Now Available

Nov 16, 2012

One of the first games we tackled for review (and my introduction to Victory Point Games) was Zulus on the Ramparts! – check out the review here – and now VPG is releasing an updated boxed version of the title. Zulus is an excellent, fast paced game from the States of Siege line and I’ll be interested to see the new look! You can pick up the second edition of Zulus for $33.95.

From VPG:

ZULUS ON THE RAMPARTS! is the battle cry of those defending the Mission Station at Rorke’s Drift. It is 22 January 1879, and the British invasion column moving into Zululand was disastrously defeated that morning at nearby Isandlwana. Now, fresh troops from the victorious Zulu iMpi (army) are advancing on your position.

With your 140 British soldiers and auxiliaries, you must survive the repeated attacks of 4000+ crack Zulu warriors.

This States of Siege game puts you squarely in command of a desperate defense. As events unfold and heroes emerge, can you build up the barricades and fill the breaches before the camp is overrun? As the Zulus relentlessly charge wielding their deadly spears and as British rifles overheat, can you keep cool and make the command decisions necessary to hold your position and repel the onrush of fierce braves until the Relief Column arrives?

The Battle of Rorke’s Drift saw more Victoria Crosses awarded than any other before or since. Can you write an equally glorious page in history as you confront these ZULUS ON THE RAMPARTS! ?
