what terrain and such? The Zulu were in densely forested, right? I dont beleive Boudicca was involved in the same terrain.
Oshron, Chariots dont help much in Forested terrain, and dont think that the Zulu's tactics could help much in the much less forested terrain of England.

That certainly would be in interesting fight. I would give the home team, where the battle was fought, the advantage.

Zulu, given that Boudicca's army was mostly a gaggle of farmers and peasants, not good quality troops.
