Editing Confrontation (section)

If you don't believe me how awesome this game is check out some of the minis. [http://www.nugaming.com/html/confrontation.html] (BROKEN LINK!)

Rackham went under but now the minis are sold by [https://cadwallon.com/ Cadwallon] - and they even publish new minis! On the other hand it can be quite a while between production runs.

For a while the license for the minis had fallen to a vidya game studio called Cyanide Studios.  They licensed the minis for distribution in extremely limited quantities and selection via Cool Mini or Not.  You can find them here: [http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/miniatures/confrontation-miniatures]

A facebook web card game based around the minis is also available.  

There is a collector's edition, under the branding Confrontation: Classic, of some of the best minis from each faction that is being kickstarted by a company called Sans Detour. More good news/bad news. Good news! They are making them in plastic from the original models and you get a crap load of them in the box, along with the updated 3.5 rules! Bad news! The plastic they will be made from is unknown as of the start of the kickstarter in April 2018, this collector's box is just to build hype for their ACTUAL rebirth called Confrontation Resurrection, after this production run there will be little to no support for Confrontation: Classic and the cost of entry is steep. 
This funded in under 2 hours, so it's obvious the community is behind it but we'll see if Sans Detour can deliver on their promise of, "Only the best for Confrontation because it deserves the best." Flashbacks to [[Robotech RPG Tactics]] are strong in the comments section of the kickstarter.

''Morgan Freeman voice: They didn't deliver.''

As of October 2019, Sans-Detour has published zero, ZERO, updates regarding the Kickstarter release of Confrontation. Rumors have abounded that SD dove into the project despite being totally unprepared for how hard it would be to release a new version of a game that had been OOP for 10 years. In any case, this seems to yet another poorly conceived, and quite dead, Kickstarter failure with over 400,000 Euros vanished into thin air. 

''The Killing Blow Lands.''

As of October 2020 Sans-Detour is dead with a capital "D". According to a French kickstarter equivalent located [https://fr.ulule.com/aventures-le-jeu/news/communique-publie-par-lequipe-ulule-liquidation-ju-266505/ here] Sans-Detour had been having legal trouble over a previous project even before the revised Confrontation project was brought to KS. The company has declared bankruptcy and has apparently been liquidated, leaving backers on multiple platforms holding the bag, without even the courtesy of a mea culpa message before they turned the lights off. Not uncommon for crowd funding games, but still more than a bit pathetic.
