The Siege of Rorke's Drift!

Queen Victoria reigned for almost a century, during which her armies fought many battles to expand and defend her empire across nearly 20 percent of the globe. Most of these "little" wars pitted small armies of exceptionally well-armed British and allied troops (from such far-ranging locales as India and Egypt) against much larger forces fighting with inferior armaments. A pattern emerged in which initial, small Anglo/Allied forces were wiped out, only to be "avenged" by larger forces at a later date, with the resulting victory adding another jewel to Queen Victoria's crown.

This set offers a selection of 48 Conte 24th Regiment of Foot, the finest British toy soldiers ever produced, fighting against an overwhelming attack by 132 highly-trained Zulu warriors  (48 by COnte and 84 by M.P.C., a total of 180 figures), plus period and location-appropriate accessories.
