I will note, Renegade doesn’t make any games with plastic units. That would seem to be a pretty big hurdle to me to taking on A&A. At this point, maybe that is just fire and forget for the old stuff as its all subcontracted to China, which has all the old molds and production down pat. But anything new, and easy to see renegade losing its shirt.
I wouldn’t say they don’t make ANY games with plastic “units”. There are at least three;
Dead Men Tell No Tales
My Fathers Work
Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid
And it looks like maybe their GI Joe game may have some in there …
Admittedly not in the hundreds of pieces like A&A, but they are highly detailed molded miniatures (including a fancy separate miniatures pack upgrade for DMTNT).
TBH, for a publisher the size of Renegade, they’d have zero issues dealing with plastic minis. If a small time publisher like me can manage without any hurdles (if I could get the funding that is), they can as well. COST would be something that they’d have to factor in but that’s beyond our knowledge as we have no idea how well capitalized they may be or what their risk tolerance is.
