Victor Drakkar has suggested the following contest to
create more boards:
To give a run to your creative skills, please use the
following cut-out elements to draw your own board using a
smaller scale (500-pixel wide. Once designed, I will be
happy to post them on this site
for everybody to enjoy. Then, the best maps will be redrawn
at the correct scale by the specialists in the group for
future use.
All graphics are GIF files. Boards can be assembled with
MS Word, PowerPoint or any other graphic design software.
A few rules
> The goal is to use
these boards with the various counters of the Cry Havoc
series. Scenarios will have to be designed along with them;
> Compatibility with
the highest number of other boards is highly recommended ;
> The file size
should not exceed 500 Kb for easier sharing.
The tool boxes
All existing boards in the series have been put to scale
(500-pixel wide). This seems to be the best compromise
between readability and file size. The Elements tool box
includes most terrain, trees, rocks, buildings, fortified
walls and towers used in the various boards. Just insert
them on an existing board to create your own board.
You can view your first boards here. |

Example of a board created by
Victor Drakkar |
| You can now use my template to
create your own scenario (and i will proudly post them on
this site). This scenario toolbox is made of 3 directories:
A Word template (and another one in French);
An image (GIF format) of each type of character used in CRY
HAVOC, SIEGE, OUTREMER/CROISADES and CARAVANSERAI. To
include them in the document, simply click on:
"Insert/Picture/From file..."
I recommend to reduce their size down to make sure the
entire scenario fits in one single page (double click on the
counter, click on the Size tab and scale down to 80%);
A thumbnail of each map used in the CRY HAVOC series
(including the fortified harbor). I recommend to use a
graphics software to rotate and assemble the various maps
according to your scenario settings, to save it and then
insert them as one single image in your Word document. To
keep the text on the side of the maps, double-click on the
image, go to the Layout tab and make sure both Square and
Left are selected).
Note: Counters and maps of VIKING RAIDERS are not yet
available. |
