Confrontation (Rackham)

Modern Conquest and War Games

Confrontation is a skirmish level tactical fantasy miniature wargame in which the combatants are represented by metal or plastic figures in 28 mm scale, slightly larger than those of Games Workshop or The Foundry. The game is set in Aarklash, a world of medieval fantasy where knights, wizards, priests and barbarians fight each other as well as fantastic creatures such as wolfen, elves, orcs, goblins and the undead, with the entire world at war. The rules are intended to be versatile, able to represent a small fight between a handful of warriors just as well as a large skirmish between several dozen soldiers and their leaders. The last rules were in a fourth edition, a single hardback edition. The first edition was only available in French, German and Italian, while the second was available in French, German, Italian, English and Spanish. The publisher, Rackham, collapsed in 2010.
