Cool, other folks still play this game! Great! I have the original Metagaming
releases of Ogre and GEV, as well as Shockwave. Don't remember if I got 
Battlesuit, certainly never played it. I also picked up The Ogre Book, a
collection of Space Gamer articles on the game. Cool stuff.

I noticed you're also running an SFB list. I haven't played either of these
games in at least 3 years, but I'd like to get in touch with other players
and see how things have changed...

I've also been working on a GEV description for Xconq. The Xconq sources I
have are from May '91, dunno if there's a newer version...

	[I worked up a GEV scenario for Xconq some time ago, the biggest
problem is that the computer players are already way too dim to handle the
complexity of the game without ranged combat...

	...naturaly I cannot divulge the pieces I have crafted without
violating Mr Jackson's copywrites, but if I was goning to redo it now, I'd
throw out the range effects, use the Hvy Tnk > Msl Tnk > GEV > Hvy Tnk
cycle and just give Ogres a bunch of hit points.  -HJC]
