Rorke’s Drift

This game recreates the battle in 1879 where a British outpost at Rorke’s
Drift manned by 137 men managed to repel an attack by force of over 4,000 Zulu
warriors.

This is a real-time strategy game where the player can pause the game and
issue orders during a command mode, after which the orders are carried out and
the battle progresses. You can only play as the British and two scenarios are
available – one where the Zulus will attack according to the historical Order
of Battle and deployment, and the other where the Zulus vary their strategy of
attack.

Individual troops are represented in the game as animated soldier miniatures,
with the player being able to move individual soldiers, resolve individual
hand-to-hand combat situations and order a variety of different firing
positions for each soldier.
