How does Impi beat SAM Infantry? :confused:

The Zulu typically took the offensive, deploying in the well-known "buffalo horns" formation. It was composed of three elements:

1. the "horns", or flanking right and left wing elements, to encircle and pin the enemy. Generally the "horns" were made up of younger, greener troops.
2. the "chest" or central main force which delivered the coup de grace. The prime fighters made up the composition of the main force.
3. the "loins" or reserves used to exploit success or reinforce elsewhere. Often these were older veterans. Sometimes these were positioned with their backs to the battle so as not to get unduly excited. The tactic was called the beast's horns by the Zulu and was called "impondo zekomo" in the native Zulu tongue.

Shaka discarded sandals to enable his warriors to run faster. Initially the move was unpopular, but those who objected were simply killed, a practice that quickly concentrated the minds of remaining personnel.

Impi warriors were trained as early as age six, joining the army as udibi porters at first, being enrolled into same-age groups (intanga).

In Shaka's day, warriors often wore elaborate plumes and cow tail regalia, but by the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, many warriors wore only loin cloth into battle.

I dunno, you have a hard time beating the bad-assness of Impi warriors. Just saying.
