(though I'd overlooked the Zulus - mind you, look what happened to them as well).
Not fair-- they were fighting with spears, knobkerries and what rifles they could obtain against an enemy armed with the best weapons technology the British Empire could muster. At that, the fact that they managed to *win* against the British most of the time (including the brill battle of Isandlhwana, which I probably can't spell) despite these limitations, is pretty darn stunning.
ObB7: I seem to be in a minority that actually liked Cally's red Saurian Major outfit. It makes her look chunky.
I'd have to say I prefer it to some of the airy-fairy things she wore later on, which tended to make her look a bit stick-insecty.
