War of the Pacific

[Kensai]

It is summer 1879, and in the alternate reality of Pride of Nations, three nations are preparing to clash as it happened in real life. I have made all three nations playable and I am "preping" them for the inevitable confrontation. Given that Chile was played by a human player previously, it is in a relatively better state than the other two. Nonetheless, this will be an interesting regional war in a theater I am doubtful it has ever been taken cared off in any mainstream game. This will be a test for the ability of the AI to do limited warfare, but if any players want to try any of the underdogs (Peru and Bolivia) to stop Chile, let me know and we can see what we can do. More on the ongoing AAR here.

Some updates:


BOLIVIA
Bolivia has probably the worse armed forces of all 3 countries and it is the one that is supposed to take most of the flak as it borders with Chile. Nonetheless, Bolivia is relatively rich and might be able to build its force before the inevitable clash.





PERU
This country is in a slightly better state, its armed forces well developed, including many cavalry units. Nonetheless it has a very small navy, it will be impossible to try anything against Chile from the sea.





CHILE
Chile is probably the third most powerful country in South America after Brazil and Argentina. Their navy is modern, made up of imported and domestically constructed ironclads, their army is big and well-organized. Nonetheless, it will have to fight a war against two rivals combined.

It starts next turn! If anyone care to play one or both of the underdogs (Bolivia and/or Peru) send me a message!

The situation is quite critical as Chile is rather strong and there is not much room for maneuvering, you need to fight by the coastline near or in the harsh desert of Atacama!

The Chileans, even under AI, are definitely pounding the Bolivian-Peruvian alliance hard!

I'm sure the Bolivians in particular are taking the worst whipping.
