Dear Partners

Thanks to the support of d’ENTREPRENEUR VENTURES, one of the leading French actors in the field of investment, we are pleased to announce the creation of the company RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT. RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT was acquired on October 28, 2008, including all assets and production means of RACKHAM SA. RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT will continue to count on the unique expertise of the RACKHAM SA Design Studio.

RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT plans to continue development of the existing game universes AT-43 and CONFRONTATION, as well as new game universes included by acquisition of license.

The Design Studio has already conceived the innovative designs for CONFRONTATION and AT-43 for the next 12 months. We are pleased to announce to you that RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT will be able to market many exceptional innovations within a very short amount of time. These exceptional innovations will be available in monthly intervals, and will be released simultaneously worldwide. This is sure to delight even the most demanding players.

Thus, RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT is able to announce the imminent arrival of Wave-07. This Wave will be followed by Wave-09 (December 2008) which will be accompanied by a highly anticipated supplement to AT-43: Operation Frostbite.

RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT, and its partner ASMODÉE, are now working in unison to ensure stores receive a regular distribution of these innovations as well as marketing and promotion support in France, Belgium, and Germany.

For this reason, in the next couple of weeks ASMODÉE and RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT will begin to develop various marketing operations, including the establishment of organized play.

RACKHAM ENTERTAINMENT SAS

It's not a new name, it's a new company. Also, the US version of the Investor's letter. There will be a "customer" letter later this week or next week. Also, Jean Bey will be in America himself this week.

SSDD syndrome?

Rackham has a lot of work to do to recapture their old market's goodwill and/or generate any new amount.

The new title sounds move like a movie production title. I'm not sure if thats the direction you are trying to convey? Obviously its a mini company, but to people that are not familar they might think of movies? lol

Actually, what you're saying is the point. They're not just a miniature/wargames company anymore, they've got other forms of media(books, videogames, etc) in the pipeline.
