As you've taken a chance on South America before with the Chile-Peruvian range for 1879, it would be nice to see some figures for the War with Paraguay in the 1860s. This range would have the advantage of only really needing Paraguayan figures (The ACW and European 1860s/70s ranges pretty comprehensively cover the other combatants), and as the army of Paraguay had basically one uniform for everyone, it cuts down on the figures needed for the range.
You could get by with:
Paraguayan regular infantry in prewar uniform
As above, but in kilt
As above, but in loincloth
Regular cavalryman
Aca-Caraya Cavalry in helmet
Artilleryman
Generals and El Caudillo Lopez (and possibly Lizzie Lynch!)
There is a good book by John Tuohy sold through Caliver that covers the period well.

DANG!   I saw Triple Alliance in the title and thought, YAY,  Aztecs, Mayans and Toltecs but sadly it is another range that would absorb my hard earned cash  ;)

I also thought we might finally be getting the real Triple Alliance.... :(

Yeah, Leon, 2012 if fast approaching and to save the world you need those Mayans done before January 1. Remember only Pendraken can "Save the World" with the release of Mayans before 2012, then all the End of World predictions will go way since the Mayans will be back  :D

And since you have the Mayans done you need someone for them to fight soooo. . . those Aztecs and Toltecs and Olmecs need to be finished as well  :-bd

Hey Fierce, did I forget any  "ecs" ?    ;)

Tlaxcalans. Spaniards alone would be too limited.

Well done Rob, this one gets my vote.

Having read the articles in WI many years ago and having the book from Foundry there's lots to recommend this bloody conflict. :)
