Overall rankings for Cry "Havoc!" on MagWeb's hit list placed us 18th out of 60 magazines.

Both were nominees for the 1999 Charles S Roberts award for best "zine" at Origins with BROG garnering the award. Ye editor, admittedly in a bit of pique, is curious why Cry "Havoc!" never so much as garners a nomination there. Minor grumble.
