Confrontation was a game created by Games Workshop and released through their White Dwarf mag. This site intends to add to the original literature. Confrontation is a roleplaying game which uses minitures to represent street-fights between murderous futuristic gangs set on the industrial nightmare world of Necromunda. The background to this game is found in the 40k games and related games developed by Games Workshop. Players must constantly fight each other and the gangs they come across to maintain access to life-giving resources. Gangster characters interact with other characters seeking to manipulate, ally or destroy them depending on the agendas, motivations and personality of the characters involved.

Graeme Davis, a Hogshead game designer for the Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing game and ex-game designer with GamesWorkshop) says: "Confrontation started with a game called Laserburn, which was published in the early-mid 80s by Tabletop Games (I think - whatever the publisher was called, it was owned by Bryan Ansell before Citadel & GW). It was a miniatures-based skirmish game, like everything else Ansell was involved with. He decided to resurrect it and link it to the Warhammer 40K property (owned by Games Workshop), and the update started out being called Confrontation." (links not provided by Graeme). This RPG was published as a draft in White Dwarf. Years later it became Necromunda. Graeme explains: "Necromunda was never intended to be a RPG, and indeed is not, placing the emphasis on the skirmishes alone. After Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play didn't double miniatures sales overnight the way W40K did, and when games like Golden Heroes, Judge Dredd and the licensed printings of Paranoia and RQ3 didn't sell too well, GW lost interest in RPGs almost completely."
