Overview:
For 100 years, the ex-Spanish colonies of Paraguay and Bolivia had been feuding over the Gran Chaco region (part jungle, part swamp, part desert), since without it Bolivia was landlocked. A shooting war broke out in 1932 when a clumsy Bolivian offensive pushed through into the border region of Paraguay. Despite not having a standing army, the Paraguayans were soon able to field some effective units. Resistance built up in a salient around the small settlement of Nanawa, where in December the Bolivians had paused to allow their supplies to build up. Guided by German advisers, the Bolivian 7th Division assigned two of its columns to holding attacks on the under-strength Paraguayan 5th Division while a third infiltrated behind the defenders. . . . .Bolivians use Chinese counters, Paraguayans use Axis Minor countersAttacker: Bolivian (8th Regiment and 1st Cavalry Regiment and attached Artillery Battery)
Defender: Paraguayan (13th Infantry Regiment and dismounted elements of 3rd Cavalry Regiment)

| 2022-02-19 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | Gary Bartlett | Bolivian win | First shot of the game is a snake eyes leader directed which instantly casualty reduces and breaks a vital squad in a wooden building protecting my flank, someone meant to prevent fast movement onto the hill overlooking the border post. To make matters worse, I could barely get anything but PTCs. In the end, my opponent was piling on the hurt with 4 successful CCs with no casualties inflicted, and almost two generated leaders. In fact, the ONLY casualty that was caused against the Bolivians was a Fate on a rally. Someone please send me better dice. | ||
| 2020-11-14 | (A) Rob MacGinley | vs | Peter Roberts | Paraguayan win | I thought I had a good chance with a slow but progressive grind out of his trench system next to the outpost - lost Calvary too early and was unable to burn anything!! Came down to a close game in the end | ||
| 2011-09-11 | (D) Andy Beaton | vs | Victor Behar | Bolivian win | Lost to the CVP cap before my reinforcements even arrived. Not sure how to play this one. | ||
