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!

I know this isn't really a GEV or OGRE question, but it's sort of related;
when Shaun mentioned WarpWar, I remembered my copy (and how I lost it along
with a lot of games :( ).  The question is (directed at Steve) (I don't
remember his email address) - is it possible to get any information (rules,
info on maps, etc) for any of the other games that you designed under/for
Metagaming?  They are, needless to say, no longer easily available. :)

Subject: Waterloo

And while I remember (I am a forgetful sod). I would like to thank
Henry for a Waterloo, The Ogre PBEM. I had a great time. Although it
never finished it rekindled my interest in Ogre. As a result I have
just bought the miniature rules.

I guess Waterloo II (with ogre mini rules) is not on for the same reason
Waterloo I stopped?

Lastly - the superheavy. In the Mini rules, a SH has 2 AP. Is there any
plans (or a definite ruling) about this becoming part of the Ogre/GEV/
Shockwave 'hex' game? I always did wonder why the SH never had them if
it was nearly a Mark I. It certainty adds a bit more bite to a SH. Any
armour unit never likes infantry :-)
