The French tabletop gaming company Rackham (distributed in the U.S. by Fantasy Flight Games) has announced the November release of a starter set for its Confrontation miniature tabletop fantasy wargame.  The Confrontation: The Age of Ragnarok Starter Set includes everything that players need to start playing the game right out of the box.  Rackham recently announced that it would be pre-painting its Confrontation miniatures (see 'Confrontation Goes Pre-Painted') and that decision makes it possible to use a Starter Set like this right out of the box.

The Confrontation: The Age of Ragnarok Starter Set (MSRP $80) includes full rules and scenarios, eight Griffin Spearmen, four Wolfen Hunters, the heroic Abel figure to lead the Griffin forces, the equally potent Serethis to marshal the Wolfen fighters, a terrain element, a tape measure, plus six dice and six profile cards and a two-sided poster.
