The Impi [NA Zulu Melee Unit] *leaving the mod*
« on: January 05, 2013, 11:12:41 am »
"A Zulu regiment can run, *run*, 50 miles and fight a battle at the end of it. "
"Zulu" 1964




Over 40,000 strong, well motivated and supremely confident, the Zulu were a formidable force on their own home ground, despite the almost total lack of modern weaponry. Their greatest assets were their morale, unit leadership, mobility and numbers.

We as a clan wish to use skills in melee to shed soft plump white scum into little bits for setting foot into Zulu land. We are entirelly compsed of members of the 1stFKI in NW. We will import our melee skills from that unit into the Anglo Zulu War mod.






Impi is an Zulu word for any armed body of men. However, in English it is often used to refer to a Zulu regiment, which is called an ibutho in Zulu. Its beginnings lie far back in historic tribal warfare customs, when groups of armed men called impis battled. They were systematized radically by the Zulu king Shaka,

Impi was the entire zulu army, not a regiment. Good luck though!

 The 00st is a galactic space and time regiment. So what? Good luck, Millander! I hope to slaughter (and fight alongside) you on the battlefield. ;)

Run run run, English man!
Humans are extremely complicated creatures. Death uncomplicates them to a frightening degree...
