Has anyone thought of doing or has done the Chaco War in either 10mm or 15mm?

It seems ideal for BKC and the figures could easily be sourced from SCW and WW1 ranges in either scale.

Even the vehicles wouldn't be too much of a problem, assuming Pithead get back into production at some point.

It'd be easy to do in 1/600 scale, too. A simple project for someone who didn`t want to invest a lot of time and money.

I frequently fight the Choco war with my better half but have never heard of the chaco war.

Yeah, the only Chaco I know is Chaco Canyon in the states. Any warfare there would be covered in Warmaster Ancients.Grin

"Bet you'd struggle finding models for the aircraft though!"

Yeah, for the life of me I can't think of anyone who makes a good model for Tucan-class figthers, and Cockatoo-class bombers.GrinSilly

Er, no jungler in the Chaco that I know of. It's actually a rather dry scrub desert.

Think Western Desert, only with scrub cover and very few tanks.

Well, it looks like Bolivia does have Toucans so they can stay. You can sub the Coukoo, or the fierce Parakeet-class bombers in place of the Cockatoo for 10 extra points.Grin

I like the Red Shoveler, sounds like an engineering vehicle.Wink

Are you confusing TODAY'S armed forces with those of the Chaco war of the 1930s...?
