Turns 3 and 4 are going the Colonial troops way...so far. Hearing rifle fire and war cries on on their right, and not having any targets to shoot at since the Zulus "went to ground", the Native Horse pulled out of the rough terrain to regroup. A good thing. Just as they moved, the Zulus, or Mr. Babbage, made a dash at them. Luckily for the Native Horse troopers, the Zulus did not have enough steam to make contact. Probably the cattle in between the forces slowed the warriors down.
On the right, the Zulus felt bold enough to charge the NMP. However, their enthusiasm was cut short by stiff resistance and loss of warriors, 2 to 4 to the NMP. And seeing NNC troops and Naval Brigade infantry rushing to aid their friends, the Zulus retreated back to the brush and rocks.
Again, no appearance of Zulus to the center of the column. Mr. Babbage rolled low again. So far a clear track to ford. The Zulus definitely need some reinforcements soon.
