State Entry Exit Combat Forces Population Losses
Bolivia 1928 1935 100 000 4 000 000 80 000
Paraguay 1928 1935 80 000 800 000 200 000

... So 1/4 of all Paraguayans were casualties ...

EDIT/PS sorry, couldn't get the columns to line up ...

So 1/4 of all Paraguayans were casualties

I think that 200,000 was a typo as Paraguay won virtually every battle. I think it was supposed to be '20,000 casualties' to get the total of 100,000 combat losses total for both sides.

 

[Bóreas]

looks great Civ
whats the next unit on your list?

Ah. Having briefly scanned other sources, I believe you're correct

friends, thanks for the infos about the Chaco War! that infos could be great to the civilopedia entry of this unit in ACM

@Bóreas: I hope post the Uruguayan Granadeer in some minutes. Look the ACm thread to see the previews. And the next challenge is the Riflero (Chilean Rifleman)

I did a Venezuelan cavalry days ago, it is named Prócer and it is present in this "library" For Colombia I didn't do, cos this nation is not present in the 1st version of ACM BTW, here comes a new unit

thanks! The Latin American units look like European (and Napoleonic), cos they were all inspirated in this region, mainly France, Prussia, Spain and Portugal. All the great leader of these armies, like Simon Bolivar, San Martin and Solano López have studied in Europe too, bringhting to Latin America equal clothes, weapons and tatics

 

[Bóreas]

AWESOME!
BTW, that is one fiery attack anim!

 

[Pantsofpower]

AWESOME!
Keep 'em coming!

I'm gonna have some fun with these, although usually I just donload 'em and they sit around doing nothing for a long time before I use them. But I'll get around to it. Another fantastic unit (two units!)

it is a local sling

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

hmm, your Riflero seem to be well fed- and way tall

 

[jorde]

hmm, your Riflero seem to be well fed- and way tall

Yeah... it looks rather dwarfish.... the same thing happens with the Blandengues Soldier..

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

he looks like tall cos it has this "big hat". fat? I dunno

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Hummm, the Blandengues is thinner still, though. While I am not certain, me thinks they both wear the same hat?? "Dwarf-ish" yes, I think that explains it alright, although the unit is taller than it seems (even larger than the firaxis infantry) at first glance: Just somewhat to the fatty side, with the legs and upper body being too broad, when compared to their length...
