Tabletop Gaming News har fått en chans att ställa lite frågor till Jean Bey

Det som är intressantast är väl;
Are there any plans to revisit a skirmish based system like Confrontation 3 in the future?
During the designing of Confrontation: The Age of the Rag’narok, we wanted it to remain possible to play both “skirmish” and “battle” games. Though we do not consider Confrontation: The Age of the Rag’narok to be a skirmish game, some players would like a “Dogs of War-like” gaming level, meaning a level of detail and individualization of the Confrontation pieces comparable to Confrontation 3. Several months ago, AT-43 players discovered AT-43 Tactics. This game system is played on a smaller scale. It makes every miniature an individual; not only Incarnate characters as in Confrontation: The Age of the Rag’narok. The feedback we got for AT-43 Tactics will allow us to offer a Tactics game mode for Confrontation for the beginning of next year.

If it is possible to offer the metal miniatures for sale through FFG alongside the PPP range would it not be possible to continue selling them with their Confrontation 3 playing cards or to make their old Confrontation cards available online as a downloadable pdf resource? Do you have any plans of releasing the full Confrontation 3 rules to the general public as a PDF download?
In a few weeks time we will be opening on www.confrontation.fr a section specially dedicated to the previous editions of Confrontation. It will allow you to download the entire rules of Confrontation 3 as well as its supplement Dogs of War and all Confrontation 3 cards for free since, though I believe Confrontation: The Age of the Rag’narok is the best game system we have ever made for Confrontation, I think it is up to the player to play the system that suits them best. The system is not all, far from it. The universe, the graphics, the miniatures are elements that evolve and that are core components to the interest of the game and the players.
I see as a sign as more and more players of the previous editions are starting to play the game. The complaining posted on Internet under cover of anonymity does not represent the reality of the market. It would be a mistake to believe that stores would be willing to distribute both a metal range and a painted plastic range of the same universe. Of course, there will always be some people to say they would do it. But economic reality is not built upon a handful of stores. It would take a lot more to make it economically viable. Upholding two totally different production systems, maintaining double references, therefore taking up double shelf space and double costs is pure nonsense.
