Get Medieval with Footsore's Cry Havoc

Footsore Miniatures & Games have launched the crowdfunding campaign for a new edition of the classic Cry Havoc wargame, originally released by Standard Games in 1981.

Cry Havoc is a a game of medieval man-to-man combat designed by Gary Chalk and Tony Webster. The game was played using cardboard counters representing 13th century peasants, sergeants, bills, men-at-arms, and knights and featured one-on-one combat. The game was a hit and launched a whole series of games such as Siege (1983), Samurai Blades (1984), Outremer (1985), and Viking Raiders (1987), as well as dozens of additional maps and a fantasy version called Dark Blades (1986).

Gary Chalk is part of the current team behind the game’s revival, and has provided new artwork for all the counters giving the game an update, whilst keeping things true to the original.

The crowdfunding campaign for the new edition launched on Kickstarter on Friday 17th April and runs until the end of the month. The campaign is already funded and is due to deliver to backers in June 2026.
