Wikipedia has a fine article on the history of Ral-Partha, though it has political correctness spilt all over it and is just too “nice & tidy” on what happened and why. This timeline page however I prefer; A slightly different version of events, of how Ral-Partha “became” IronWind Metals. Read both, and decide on your version of the truth…
Were all those D&D moulds really destroyed? I hope someone had a sense of preservation regardless of what the lawyers might have been demanding…
Also, take some time to have a look at the pictures of the spin-casting process used to make IronWind Metal miniatures.
