- Zulu Warriors (5 strength): Move 0-1 hex and battle 3-2 OR move 2 hexes without battle

each Zulu unit on their baseline requires twice the number of normal orders in the same turnPlease clarify:- Each Zulu unit on the base line requires 2 orders to activate. This applies only on the baseline.Does this mean each Zulu needs 2 orders over 2 turns? EX: Play a scout card on a unit on the Left Flank on turn 1; then on turn 2 play another scout card on the Left Flank on the same Zulu unit and THEN activate the unit?

Historical Overview
The Battle of Rorke's Drift, also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was a battle in the Anglo-Zulu War. The defence of the mission station of Rorke's Drift, under the command of Lieutenant John Chard of the Royal Engineers, and Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead immediately followed the British Army's defeat at the Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, and continued into the following day, 23 January.Just over 150 British and colonial troops successfully defended the garrison against an intense assault by 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive, but piecemeal, Zulu attacks on Rorke's Drift came very close to defeating the tiny garrison but were ultimately repelled. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours.
