Additional Scenarios for the Game: Cry Havoc - Book 1 is a booklet containing six scenarios that can be played using Cry Havoc designed by Allan Paul:
The book also includes maps and pieces for each scenario, [1] as well as rules for miniatures. [2] The book suggests using 28 mm miniatures from Essex Miniatures for the combats.

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]
A wargame is a strategy game in which two or more players command opposing armed forces in a simulation of an armed conflict. Wargaming may be played for recreation, to train military officers in the art of strategic thinking, or to study the nature of potential conflicts. Many wargames re-create specific historic battles, and can cover either whole wars, or any campaigns, battles, or lower-level engagements within them. Many simulate land combat, but there are wargames for naval, air combat, and cyber as well as many that combine various domains.
Miniature wargaming is a form of wargaming in which military units are represented by miniature physical models on a model battlefield. The use of physical models to represent military units is in contrast to other tabletop wargames that use abstract pieces such as counters or blocks, or computer wargames which use virtual models. The primary benefit of using models is aesthetics, though in certain wargames the size and shape of the models can have practical consequences on how the match plays out.
Confrontation is a skirmish level tactical fantasy miniature wargaming in which the combatants are represented by metal or plastic figures in 28 mm scale. For comparison purposes, the system's figures are slightly larger than those of Games Workshop or The Foundry.

It also pioneered several concepts that would become industry standards.

Grenadier Models Inc. of Springfield, Pennsylvania produced lead miniature figures for wargames and role-playing games with fantasy, science fiction and heroic themes between 1975 and 1996.

A man-to-man wargame is a wargame in which units generally represent single individuals or weapons systems, and are rated not only on weaponry but may also be rated on such facets as morale, perception, skill-at-arms, etc. The game is designed so that a knowledge of military tactics, especially at the small unit or squad level, will facilitate successful gameplay. Man-to-man wargames offer an extreme challenge to the designer, as fewer variables or characteristics inherent in the units being simulated are directly quantifiable. Modern commercial board wargaming stayed away from man-to-man subjects for many years, though once the initial attempts were made to address the subject, it has evolved into a popular topic among wargamers.
