I have been always been fascinated by the Chaco War (1932/35) between Paraguay and Bolivia and already contemplated to game it, but never found time or energy. Now I have not excuses since Pierre Laporte, expert wargamer and game designer, produced a fast play set of rules dedicated to this obscure conflict.
"Caramba" is only 4 pages long and includes a set of very nice top-down counters for Paraguayan and Bolivian infantry units, fortification, tanks and airplanes. The only other things you need is some coloured tokens and a playing surface with hex grid... two items commonly found in the house of a true wargamer.
The scenario included in the rules looks very interesting, since both players must explore the area (each hex can be jungle, swamp or open terrain and is revealead only when a units "sees" it), find a drinking water well and keep it at all costs!
You can download "Caramba" from the rules page, here.
