CHACO: Bolivia vs Paraguay, 1932-35 (Wargame)

1-COM1232

Chaco is an updated yet faithful remake of the Game Designers' Workshop game released in 1973. Covers the pre-WWII Chaco War fought between Bolivia and Paraguay at the Strategic / Operational level. For two to threee players using six-month turns and 10-mile hexes.

The basic game starts with mostly infantry forces but as a technologically advanced war (the first to include large-scale aerial warfare in the Americas), the game also includes a set of optional rules called Gran Chaco that highlight some of these innovations and the strategic choices players may have faced. Though historically, many of these innovations were not used to any actual effect, they were available to the belligerents and are now available to you. Has several historical and hypothetical scenarios and many optional rules players can choose to implement.
