I assumed as much

2018-06-27 23:51:01 UTC  

to a certain extent that was kinda true though.

2018-06-27 23:51:09 UTC  

They were limited

2018-06-27 23:51:12 UTC  

Not dumb tho

2018-06-27 23:51:30 UTC  

you can't really do their main and only tactic when you've got a bunch of chaps with guns defending an encampment.

2018-06-27 23:51:31 UTC  

They fucked up the brits in the beginning, retards dont do that

2018-06-27 23:52:15 UTC  

keep in mind that the pincer was really their only tactic, and the entire reason behind shaka's rise to power amongst the zulu

2018-06-27 23:52:28 UTC  

Yeah, but when you hide in small ravines, that shit is scary, which they did a couple times

2018-06-27 23:52:40 UTC  

SNEAK ATTACK MADA FAKAH

2018-06-27 23:53:26 UTC  

How did the Brits won the fight in reality anyway? I mean it was still 100 against a few thousands, and they had no artillery

2018-06-27 23:53:42 UTC  

Leadership

2018-06-27 23:53:47 UTC  

And i think cavalry?

2018-06-27 23:54:08 UTC  

The best tacticians always win with crazy odds

2018-06-27 23:54:39 UTC  

Its been forever since i read about them tho, so i dont know any definite details

2018-06-27 23:54:46 UTC  

pretty much i think. I'm no historian so don't take my word for it, but i believe british order and command saved the day for the most part.

2018-06-27 23:55:03 UTC  

None if them broke rank or fleed

2018-06-27 23:55:30 UTC  

Plus after the first Horn attack, the leader got away, so they were ready at the next encampment

2018-06-27 23:55:55 UTC  

And i think a nearby passing Company of soldiers were close enough for aid

2018-06-27 23:56:18 UTC  

point being, it was a fucking rough situation. The british fought hard, the zulu fought hard. the zulu fighting hard and respecting the british ferocity it what makes the film what it is.

2018-06-27 23:56:53 UTC  

Plus its war movie, 2 people fighting over territory, thats just human history

2018-06-27 23:56:59 UTC  

Nuttin racist bout it

2018-06-27 23:57:15 UTC  

Meanwhile us Americans and our smallpox blankets

2018-06-27 23:57:31 UTC  

So sorry Native Americans, shoulda got vaccinated

2018-06-27 23:57:54 UTC  

That was what we call an unfair fight,

2018-06-27 23:57:55 UTC  

I can respect the zulu determination and honour, even if they were a tribal and tactically inept.

2018-06-27 23:58:43 UTC  

Oh yeh, those dudes ran as fast as horses carrying spears for hours, thats what we call peak physical condition

2018-06-27 23:58:56 UTC  

Shit, the fact they managed to band together under leadership is impressive as is.

2018-06-27 23:59:34 UTC  

Thats how they fucked up other tribes in the area, thru tribal bonds

2018-06-27 23:59:52 UTC  

Numbers like that are hard to pull together when no one can write, and strength is the only way to get everyone on the same page.

2018-06-28 00:00:08 UTC  

They did have language tho

2018-06-28 00:00:27 UTC  

And forms of writing, just not as “complicated” as brits

Grfo

2018-06-28 00:01:09 UTC  

sure, but i wouldn't imagine it would be good enough to conquer via diplomacy.

2018-06-28 00:01:36 UTC  

Oh hell no, show of force was way of the land back then

2018-06-28 00:01:50 UTC  

But i heard there were some tribe treaties

2018-06-28 00:01:58 UTC  

conquer might not be the right word there, but yeah.

2018-06-28 00:02:01 UTC  

Banding together snd what not

2018-06-28 00:02:06 UTC
