Black Powder is a generic set of rules to cover the period of 1700-1900 (even the English Civil War with some modifications). Now I have chosen the Zulu War as it is a contest between radically different armies, hordes of spear armed Zulus against a small professional army of British with effective rifles, artillery and cavalry.

Hal Thinglum had a neat set in his MWAN newsletter. 
The rules featured the recycling of the dead Zulu; that made gaming the vast native armies possible. I don't remember the issue it was in; I'm sure someone here will know.

I have a free set on 10mmWorld.com (look under Articles), which I really should move over to the Free Wargame Rules site.
