The Paraguayans start with a more primitive organization, much like earlier WW1. Their regiments are triangular, with battalions of 3 companies, of 9 sections, each with an LMG. They are trained better for infiltration and independent action on the section level, much as the late WW1 Germans. Later they switch to a triangular organization, all the way down.

You have a good book suggestion for the Chaco war?
