Subject: old ogre info

Henry,
    I am also one of those unfortunates who only get your OGRE/GEV 
postings through the mail or REC.GAMES.BOARD (second handed).  For
some reason we can't tap into rec.games.btech.  If you have anything
interesting from Steve Jackson's BBS, I would appreciate including
the infamous Flying Ogre (I think I remember seeing that somewhere
before).  Anyway thanks for all the info so far.  And I know the
frustration of some of those who can't get the miniatures.  There
are times when my stores who do carry them are out of the ones I 
want.

	[Read My Lips: r.g.btech was a joke, really!

	Wasn't the whole flying Ogre thing originally printed in Space Gamer
#11? (Just ask Stevie for a back issue... ;-)

	It looks like the latest segment of "Waterloo" will be delayed,
such is life.

	A while back I posted my triangle of armor units without
explanation:

	A GEV gets a first strike on a Heavy, but its so feeble that the
Heavy gets to kill it.

	A Heavy gives up the first attack to a missile tank and the 1-1 is
enough of an edge for the missile tank to win.

	And lastly the missile tank gets hung up on terrain, so the GEV can
claim a kill.

	I still visualize the Lt GEV as "The Apache of the 21st Century",
and want to put the missile pods on them, rather than the infantry.  (Cobb
formula says that Lt GEV slowed down to M3/2 (by the drag factor of the
weapons pods?) for a one-shot 3/4 attack is a 4 point unit, but don't trust
it.)  -HJC]
