Solo scenario: Andorra vs Chile
Battle narrative
Initial phase
Chile's larger military budget and stronger air power give it an advantage in the initial stages of the conflict, with the ability to target key military positions and infrastructure.
Force composition
Chile can also call on significantly more personnel, counting both active-duty and reserve forces. Chile's advantage extends to naval power as well.
Ground campaign
Andorra's terrain could make a rapid ground campaign difficult: Its steep, enclosed terrain makes large-scale invasion impractical, and the country's small size and natural isolation have long kept it outside major conflicts. Andorra la Vella would likely be a focal point of the campaign: The capital and only significant town, occupying the country's main valley and controlling its limited road access to France and Spain. Chile's terrain could make a rapid ground campaign difficult: The Andes and Atacama form strong natural land barriers, but the long open coast leaves it exposed from the sea. Strait of Magellan would likely be a focal point of the campaign: A navigable passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at the southern tip of the continent, controlled entirely within Chilean territory. Chile's larger population could also support a prolonged resistance.
Prolonged conflict
Chile's stronger economy could help sustain military operations in a prolonged conflict. Occupying Andorra outright would likely prove costly given its terrain.
Overall assessment
Overall, the numbers favor Chile, giving it an estimated 89.5% chance of coming out on top. Turning that edge into a decisive win over Andorra — and holding any ground taken — would still be far from guaranteed.
