	Sadly Rackham's site's been down since getting DDOS'd back in December 2010. And the company is going through ~~Liquidation~~.

Unless someone picks the line up, there will be no more minis. :(

	Update! As of October 2019, the French game company Sans-Detour successfully funded a Kickstarter for a new release of Confrontation. However, there have been zero, ZERO, updates from Sans-Detour since that time. 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.		Update!

	Update². As of September 2020, SD itself is going through harsh times (including closing ~~their~~ IRL shop and storage), which implies we can all gtfo with any hopes of either Confrontation and AT-43 coming back. Besides, SD has had a history of fucking up other kickstarted projects with reasons that are '''very near''' illegal procedures. ''coughs'' For example they were supposed to publish a simple-yet-efficient High Fantasy RPG System called Aventures, kickstarter went 10/10 and '''then''' they decided to fuck it up by trying to force the actual developer of the system to entirely give away the rights to it.

	Not gonna lie, SD getting the IP for Confrontation already smelled bad from the beginning.		Not gonna lie, SD getting the IP for Confrontation already smelled bad from the beginning.

	Some parts of the game are fun and simple, the accuracy of shooting decreases with distance in a easy to understand manner rather than the bullets just disappearing at their designated maximum range. Other things were terribly broken~~. Namely~~ the heavy vehicles. Each is armed with a template, which is fine, but the templates are so overpowered that they slaughtered all the other units leaving only two heavy hitters beating the fuck out of each other for three turns until one goes down. Balance appears to be the issue here. But without the tanks or heavy mechs ~~that~~ game plays fast and fun. You can probably homebrew something to fix it and for a 1st edition this is somewhat forgivable and could be solved with an FAQ. Too bad there will be no 2ed.

	Despite being fun and tongue in cheek with 99% less grimdark than your average 40k fair, these "codices" have a problem, they are very positive about their respective factions and how "they is invincible and righteous". Yet this attitude only really fits the Therians, who are prideful posthuman /b/~~tards, imagine~~ if Necrons were even lazier and sat at computers all day instead of sleeping. Now this same problem crops up in the ~~more shitty~~ codices of 40k Grey Knights and 5ed Spess Marines specifically but believe it or not this is almost on that level of marysuedom. You thought Kurdance's Nid codex praised its faction, you ain't seen nothing until you read the smug self assurance of the Spess Gorilla one.

The setting basically detailed the misadventures of a number of different factions kicking the crap out of one another in order to become the dominant one.
