 During this period, the Boers also developed guerrilla techniques for use against numerically superior but less mobile bands of natives such as the Zulu, who fought in large, complex formations.In the First Boer War, Boer commandos were able to use superior marksmanship, fieldcraft, camouflage and mobility to expel an occupying British force (wearing red uniforms, poorly trained in marksmanship and unmounted) from the Transvaal.These tactics were continued throughout the Second Boer War.
