I got into Confrontation after playing AT-43, which I enjoy a lot. However over the past 6 months I have noticed that in the UK there has been a few releases for AT-43 but nothing for confrontation. I know rackham have had problems over the last year and Fantasy Flight Games used to distribute there product but now do not. However I have noticed stock for confrontation in the UK is slowly drying up. After contacting a online store that used to sell confrontation Age of Ragnarok, told me that rackham has no supplier for that range in the UK and has therfore not been able to get a hold of it in ages. I dont know if this is true but the same place still sells AT-43. I know Confrontation Age of Ragnarok wasnt that popular in the UK but I still thought I would of been abl to find a UK supplier by now. Does anyone have a clue what is going on here? or has any simaler problems, if you live in the UK. |

I've run into the same problem – I can't get the Griffin cavalry unit box for love nor money in the UK. At least Rackham's online store is back up, so I can get them that way. Unfortunately, all the metal and resin stuff has been hived off to someone else, so I can't get their terrain pieces while I'm there. |

Were you guys not aware that the company was through a major restructuring and won't make what all the fans want which is the metal and resin miniatures. Instead, you will now get PPP. Who knows how long it will take them to create the equipment for all that plastic. |

If you don't mind paying the postage, miniaturemarket.com has most of the PPP stuff for pretty deep discounts. I bought a 3000+ wolfen and a 3000+ griffin army for around 180 USD, army books included. Hope that helps. |

Thanks thats not a bad price for the miniatures may have to order some off there. |

Norscaman, I'm not sure what your point is – I stated in my post I was trying to by the plastic minis, but I can't get thyem in the UK. It's not a matter of manufacture*, it's a problem somewhere in the supply chain. *Except for Therian Hekat Golgoths, which have been out of stock for several years now. |

Miniature Market has a few Hekats in both color schemes still. |

Hekats are brutal for their points and position on the org charts, and became something of a stealth hit. They were one of the first things FFG ran utterly out of. The new "Frostbite" scheme (coordinating with Nina Zero) version of the Hekat was released two months ago. I'm seeing them in the US, so the supply chain to the UK is probably the problem here. |
