  • Asmodee to distribute Rackham miniatures in Europe

    Rackham and Asmodée have entered into an agreement to have Asmodée distribute Rackham’s miniature products in Europe.

    From their announcement:

    We wish to thank you for your support and for accompanying us through the last few months. Thanks to you, many players still enjoy our games, and we felt obliged to express our gratitude for the trust you have in us. In accordance with our development strategy, we have decided to refocus on our core trade: making games, miniatures and universes. Following this path, Rackham has signed a distribution partnership with Asmodée, the company that will now be in charge of distributing our games in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Through this partnership, the rhythm of our new releases should return to normal. So, as soon as the month of July, we will not be offering one but two waves of releases simultaneously. This way European and U.S. news should soon be level.

    Considering Asmodée’s extensive range of games, restocking Rackham products will be facilitated. With a partner such as Asmodée in Europe, Rackham is boosting the promotion of its games through a larger distribution network. The axis of development favored by our company remains the follow up of Confrontation and AT-43 in order to assure their success.

    And no mention of UK.


    Zac says:

    FFG already distributes in the UK

    Note that the announcement actually begins with:
    Dear Partner,
    i.e. It’s actually addressed to Asmodée, not the player community. So it wouldn’t make much sense for them to mention Italy, UK, Malta, the Vatican, or any other place that Asmodée & Rackham are not distributing together.

    I think its being sent to their retail accounts in Europe.

    Do you think they sell a lot of AT-43 in the Vatican? :-)

    I would like to think Helldorado is more popular in the Vatican! Occidental faction only perhaps though some would like the demons!

    Where did it say FFG was going to stop carrying the metal minis? Did I miss a news item some place?


    Zac says:

    I don’t recall hearing that either

    I thought Simple Miniature Games distributed Rackham in the UK?

    Only AT-43 at the moment (and the Confrontation starter), it seems they’ve dropped the metals and don’t really want to be involved with the latest version of Confrontation.

    Esdevium (a partner of FFG as far as I can tell) handle most of the UK distribution now.

    from what I have seen & gathered the distribution of R is all but ok.
    The one thing I do know for a fact is that the distribution of R is good in the Netherlands for sure, well for now it is.
    let’s hope this will be so as well worldwide, esspecially for the poor lads & gals in the UK.
