Reception[]

In Issue 23 of Imagine, Mike Dean questioned why a Cry Havoc! player would need to purchase this instead of just designing their own scenarios, saying, "I do not see much need for such a product; I would expect that even players with only limited imagination are able to construct scenarios of this very ordinary standard." Dean was also dismissive of the miniatures tules, stating, "The only other point of interest is the mention of using metal figures for playing Cry Havoc and the recommendation of Essex Miniatures for this purpose. Surely if a player is going to buy figures he may as well buy a set of table-top rules to go with them."^[1]
