Wookies. Sure, they're big targets, but they should be able to handle the rifles better than anyone else. Plus, in melee combat, Wookies will own.

yes, thats the problem there was more than one Zulu war. But Rouke''s Drift was part of the first Zulu War. Those reapeating rifles were placed in higher priority because they saw that they would not have lost their 1,000 men in the first place if they had even one Gatling gun and repeating rifles. If they didn't charge the incomming Zulus would have helped too
All they really needed was a tighter formation. While rapid volley fire could ward of the Zulu's, it burned through ammo faster then more could be brought up. If they had formed a square, or something of an arc close into the camp they would have won.

Yes and with this formation maybe they could have used their cannons! The Problem was taht the British commander fell for the Zulu's battle formation's feint and charge into the center of the formation getting himself surrounded. He should have kept his men in their defensive formation which would not allow the Zulus to make the best use of their standerd tactics.

I gave this to the Klingons, because in Voyager "The Killing Game Part 2", we see drunk Klingons absolutely owning the Nazi's.

No, they beat what a computer system that most likely only contains a warped politically correct earth history thinks Nazi's are. Given there profermance its a very fucked up history.

Wookies.

Hand to Hand they would own.

With any sort of rifle...they would perform above the level of those listed given they are not outright mindless hordes who rush anything that moves and is the enemy.

Wookies. They're smart, strong, fast, and have great stamina.

Jem'Hadar, mostly because of the ability to cloak themselves and the advantages and intimidation factor vs warriors who have never encountered anything of the like before.

The Jem'Hadar don't use cloaking in the seige of AR-588 nor in I belivei t was Starship down when there stuck on a planet along with Sisko in company. Beyound that the Jem'Hadar are just a bunch of stupid fanatics, which Western armies had a habit of salughtering. Though the Zulu's where pretty smart and used tactics, unlike the massed chage only Jem'Hadar.
