Confrontation is a skirmish level tactical fantasy miniature wargaming in which the combatants are represented by metal or plastic figures in 28 mm scale.
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.
The rules are intended to be versatile, and are 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.
A photo or artist's drawing of the figures is on the reverse of the reference card, as a painting guide for the hobbyist.
The models were packaged in multiple figure sets that correspond with units and auxiliaries as described in the various army lists.
The Griffon army is characterized by heavily armoured troops, high Discipline, strong ranged weapons, and powerful Faithful.
The Alchemists of Dirz were founded by a high priest of Merin who was so consumed with attaining perfection that he began dark experiments combining man and science.
Devourers have high Movement, Resilience, and Defence with above average Strength making very dangerous and hard to kill.
