| Gents, I'm having another senior moment...please can someone remind me what the 'popular' translation is for the cry made by a Zulu as he plunges his iklwa into the body of an enemy?
And, other than "Usuthu!", are there any other appropriate war cries or chants I should be aware of?
Yes, planning another toy soldier game set during the AZW, so no great historical accuracy required, but I do like a degree of realism!

| Xhosa, many thanks - That's the translation, but not how I've seen it written before - more like "ishii!" or "nGadla!" maybe?
And, more important, where did you get that great avatar image? I've definitely got a use for that if its available!

| Hiya Simon, yes your right, i responded ( usually to my detriment ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) ) off the cuff, its from the mouth of the wonderful David Rattray, from his TDOTDM. so like i said i made the spelling up but that's as close as i could spell to convey the sound, if that makes sense.. The image is from a book, which offhand i cannot for the life of me remember, but i know i have the full resolution scanned and will let you have it soonest, as remarked on another thread earlier, its good to share, cheers Les |

| That's great, much appreciated - perfect for the reverse side of a set of gaming cards I need to make :-) |
