My initial impression on the Superheavy change is it is A Good Thing (TM).
However, it could be because I like Superheavys (or is that Superheavies?)
and making them more resilient can only be better for me :-)

However, this change make me feel it would be slightly more expensive than
12VPs, while the objective was to make it worth its point value.

How will this affect the Cobb Formula? Is it possible to add one more
variable to the equation?

My reaction is it is gone completely. It might be messy to treat is as
a 'double disable' or whatever.

I had a few questions up my sleeve but I have waited until purchasing
Ogre Minis before posting them. As I bought these rules only days ago, 
I have no questions (it was mostly laser/gun armed tanks and LOS rules -
all in Ogre Minis as Archaic Armour).

Actually - how about a heavy armed with a laser? same defence, less attack,
longer range but affected by the LLOS rules? Haven't thought it
through much so I might go home and scribble and play a bit.

Oh - noticed Winchell Chung helped design the some of the models. I've
always liked his stuff. I remember it first from WarpWar. Ah, what a game,
I loved it. It's a pity it doesn't relate well to solitiare play.

mean, yeah, what a shame.

	I was under the impression that lasers (the rapid fire
nuclear-pulse type that BPC makes obvious), were a little too heavy for
Ogres, but I've always wanted to have a laser cruiser (yes, Navy) to guard
invansion fleets against missle-sub attacks.  (Yes, patrol GEVs with depth
charges and all that...), but I never got back to working on the Amphib
stuff.

that Steve would at least glance at it.  -HJC]

You wrote a program! I never had the time. Does it work well? What is is
written in? Do you still have access to a copy? And, asking very nicely, 
with lots of pleases and grovelling, is it possible to obtain a copy?

I really like WarpWar :-)

Is there much call for Naval combat in the Ogre universe? Would people 
play it? I guess a beach invasion would be interesting. The timeline
in OM indicates several Normandys and a Sea Lion!
