Henry,
	I seem to have misplaced the address to send messages to the
GEV mailing list.  Would you please let me know what it is?  Would 
you pass the following onto the list please?

Hello, I'm just getting into miniature wargaming with the Ogre system.
I've purchased a number of the Armor units, and I'm at a loss as how
to paint them.  I understand stuff such as primer, undercoats, washed,
and dry brushing.  What I'm looking for is suggestions on what colors
to paint things.  Are there picture books that show examples of modern
armor unit's various paint schemes?  I've thought of just olive green
for forest work, and tan for desert combat; however, I'd really like
some examples, or pointers to examples of how to paint 'realistic'
camouflage.  Gaudy for the Ogre I can do.  Thanks in advance for any
help and or advice you can offer.

P.S.  Is there anyone else in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region who is
interested in Ogre?  Northfield is nearly local based on my driving
habits...

	Ogre Minis includes a 4 page painting guide, along with lots of
full color photos.  -HJC]

Sure, sounds fine to me. Of course, it would be a lot of work on your
part...

	[My fears are twofold:

A: The Players will get confused and loose track of which enemy units have
gone how fast in what terrian.

	and

B: Not everybody'll have Ogre Minis (shame on them! ;-), and therefore not
have the new unit listing with the sizes and such.

	BTW: How should I handle the SJG <=> rec.games.board gateway WRT
this list?  I've assumed that every internetter can read r.g.b if they
like, and will tell me if they want a missive to get passed along to the
BBS and this list.

	I see the three pieces as having greatly different natures:

	rec.games.btech is for temporal interaction amounst a wide
audience.

	SJG's BBS has limited disk space and bandwidth, but holds anything
forever, and so should be viewed as a "permanent" archive of arcania.

	This list (whatever its true name is...) is both temporal and
limited and therefore suited to broadcasts of in-play game results and
tentative musings.  For example, I'll shortly air out my notes on the unit
design formula here, long before they're ready to play to any other
audience.  -HJC]
