Re: Speaking of Kitbashing,

In my single excursion into colonial wrgaming (pickup game at a shop in 
Tucson) I had a Zulu impi roll BADLY on a charge against a British 
artillery unit (I caught them from a flank) and didn't manage to charge 
home. Most of my unit was killed the next time the guns fired. The owner

of the miniatures I was using picked up my leader figure and repainted 
the shield white, marking a serious demotion in Zulu society (busted 
back to virgin !).

On the whole, Sword & Flame is a nice set of rules.
