Hi Nic,
I’m happy to say (from our point of view) that you have joined a list of
interested parties. We’ll be sorting out the future of AT-43 in early
2014 and we certainly will be getting back to you. A precise date is
difficult, but it will definitely be within the 1st quarter.Until then “Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année”.
Regards
JoeNot a huge rumour I know but with all the buying up and shifting around of IP this year it seems very timely.
For those of you who are not familiar with AT-43 here is short description courtesy of Wikipedia.
AT-43 is a science fictiontabletop wargame using 28 mm miniature figures and terrain to scale developed and published by the French company Rackham. The game is classified as a platoon/company level game similar to Warhammer 40,000.
Released in December 2006, the game features plastic miniatures of mechs, vehicles and infantry units with corresponding cards showing the stats and gameplay options for each unit type. The game features alternate activation of units (similar to Chess) using the sequenced card mechanic. It also features command resource management (LPs) to enable special unit actions called ‘Combat Drills’.
Unlike many other miniature figure wargames, all of the miniatures are supplied pre-assembled, and pre-painted. The game also provides a few pieces of 3-dimensional scenery, and 2-dimensional game mats to allow player to decide between mission-based objectives, or skirmish-based combat.
AT-43 is now a dead game with no further releases expected.
Currently its company Rackham has been liquidated, but Cyanide Studio has recently acquired the game along with Confrontation another game from Rackham with the potential to make a new game from it just as they did with Confrontation.
AT-43 has been around since 2006, Rackham was the original owner who sold it to Cyanide Studio. And now, if the emails are true, it looks like AT-43 is going up for sale again. This seems like it has been a rough year for miniature companies across the globe, and, if the rumor is true, it’s not looking too good for the future of AT-43.
