Hello, I recently re-watched Zulu Dawn and Zulu! and had an idea for an ArmA 2 mod of the Anglo-Zulu War. It would include period accurate weapons (such as Spears, Zulu Shields, Martini-Henry's, Beaumont-Adams, et cetera) and uniforms (British uniforms and Zulu war outfits). I think it would be pretty awesome to have units in it consisting of dozens of players portraying regiments like the 24th SWB and co-op missions like Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana. The mod would have to do a lot of good melee combat (Zulus didn't really have guns) as well as implementing (trains?), horses and wagons for transport as well as steam boats and other similar transportation. I myself am an amateur historian and have done some research into the subject of the Anglo-Zulu War and other Colonial Conflicts in Africa and I think either BI or a modder could make an addon/mod for ArmA that would fit in well with ArmA gameplay styles. But this is just an idea. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some articles I've read in research/reference:
