Khurasan's new 15mm Chaco War Paraguayans

Jon at Khurasan has created a Chaco War range - begining with the Paraguayans.

You can read more about Jon's plans for extending the range on his blog (click here). Looking beyond the Chaco context of the figures I think they could make good American militia in an American 2nd Civil War version of VBCW. Perhaps there's potential for use as SCW Thaelmanns or similar militia in Spanish sun hats. Plus of course 101 imagi-nation conflicts. I'm thinking of early Costaguano Rebels.

Cheers

The Chaco War - Resources on YouTube

Having watched part of today’s football match between Paraguay and Slovakia (which the Paraguayans won by two goals to nil) prompted me to do some online research into the Chaco War. What surprised me was how much there was available on YouTube!

By using the simple search request ‘Chaco War’ I found the following :

• Chaco War – Paraguay-Bolivia 1932-1935
• La Guerra Del Chaco, Petróleo?
• Guerra del Chaco
  • Part 1
  • Part 2
  • Part 3
  • Part 4
  • Part 5
  • Part 6
  • Part 7
  • Part 8
  • Part 9
  • Part 10
  • Part 11
• The Chaco War (N.B. It is worth noting that this was produced by a High School pupil!)

The quality of some of the film used is quite poor, but this does not detract from the fact that these are a very useful source of inspiration to anyone interested in the Interbellum period.

There are probably a lot more such resources out there; it is just a case of finding them!
