“Here they come, thick as grass...”
Dive into history and heroism with Death or Glory – The Battle of Rorke's Drift, a book wargame that immerses you in the heart of this legendary clash. Relive the valiant stand of 150 British soldiers as they defend a mission station against a Zulu impi numbering in the thousands, during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.
As the clock strikes 4:30 PM, the earth trembles with the thundering chant of "Usuthu!" – the Zulu battle cry. Masses of warriors surge forward in wave after wave, their horns echoing across the plains and their assegai spears flashing in the sun. The British defenders, entrenched in a makeshift redoubt, meet the onslaught with unwavering resolve and disciplined volleys of rifle fire.
When the dust settles, the battlefield lies eerily quiet, strewn with hundreds of casualties. Eleven British heroes will be awarded the Victoria Cross for their extraordinary bravery.

The "Battlegrounds" series from Art of Wargames brings iconic pre-WWI battles to life through streamlined, fast-paced book wargames. No need to mount maps and counters; all you need is an erasable marker and some dice to command your troops and relive the actions of these legendary conflicts.
