We're happy to announce our latest scheduled line - 15mm models for the Chaco War, the largest and deadliest war fought in the Americas in the 20th century. This war was waged between two poor nations, Paraguay and Bolivia, over an extremely hostile landscape, the Chaco.
Often said to have been a war fought "over nothing," it was in fact of critical importance to both nations. Bolivia, which had become a landlocked nation due to territorial losses in the Pacific War, desperately needed access to the sea, and a port on the river Paraguay would provide the nation with eventual access to the South Atlantic. But this would spell disaster for little Paraguay - with a larger nation now so close to Asunción, what was to stop the fate the nation had almost suffered in the late 19th century, when larger nations obliterated the Paraguayan male population in the War of the Triple Alliance and carved up much of its territory?
The fact that oil fields were believed to exist in the Chaco certainly caused multinational oil companies to egg the combatants on, but it seems clear that the countries would have fought, oil or no oil.
Our first code will be the Paraguayan infantry squad, in their very unprepossessing uniform. Disparagingly nicknamed "pilas" by their foes due to their tendency to fight barefoot, the soldiers of this small, poor nation did not cut a very martial figure, but looks can be most deceiving. In dozens of battles, the Paraguayans proved themselves to be formidable soldiers with a serious attitude towards war.
Again and again, the Paraguayans attacked with both bravery and tactical cunning, pressing relentlessly, encircling their enemies using stormtrooper tactics, then drawing their machetes for close-quarters combat.
With this redoubtable raw material, and with a gifted and confident military high command, little Paraguay drove the Bolivians right out of the Chaco in a series of fascinating campaigns, winning almost all of the battles.
This campaign also holds much interest due to the romantic air war fought by both nations, using extremely limited resources to deploy a variety of obscure interwar aircraft. In fact, the last dogfight between biplanes occurred in the skies over the Chaco.
The line may take a while to develop but the first codes, the Paraguayan and Bolivian infantry squads, will appear toward the end of the year or early in 2011. The squads will have an officer, LMG and six poses of infantrymen.
The Paraguayan squad, which is now complete, has an officer pose with a Luger and his soft-peaked cap, an LMG gunner with a Madsen, three poses of charging riflemen, and three more poses of charging riflemen with machetes drawn. All the infantry (except the officer) have Mausers, the little sun hat, and half of them are barefoot.
The Bolivian squad will follow, then heavy weapons for each, then, depending on the line's success, SMG troops, high command, and other figures - perhaps, one can dream, even kits for the Potez or Curtiss Hawk, or the tankettes used (disastrously) by the Bolivians!
Chaco would be a fascinating and very different way to play Flames of War, and the forbidding terrain would be line combat in a lunar landscape!
