Fine, "T". There were times when I knew the very facts you mention in every detail, God knows I read enough books about it, but I did not look them ALL up on Google this time to remind myself of EVERY LAST DETAIL. In other words, mate, go f*ck yourself gently with a wire brush. ;-)

Your Mr Chard had some advantages at Rorke's Drift that Custer did not at LBH. He had a fortification in which to make a stand, and some time to prepare his defence there. The Zulus he was facing had a small number of rifles among them (mostly only had assegais), but their riflemen had not the slightest idea how to use the sights (they generally aimed way too high). Crazy Horse's men knew how to use their guns very accurately. The Indians also had some rifles which were superior to Custer's...wait! I'll look it up on Google so I get it EXACTLY right for you...

(hold that thought)
