Hi Henry, In the last list thingy, you mentioned OGRE minis played over the net. Please give more info on this I am very interested. Thanks... Glen Cote ___ [Kerry is usually very quick to promote his product, but not this time, so I dug this up from Janaury -HJC] ___ From: Kerry Harrison Subject: Re: GEV List Thingy, Jan 22nd. To: "Henry J. Cobb" The online version will only be available to members of Illuminati Online per the agreement we have with SJG. The pbem version will be accessable to anyone with an internet email address. Both versions will use the same viewer (client) software, the server for both games will be located on io.com and will run 24 hrs a day (provided IO is up the whole time ). The initial viewer software will be available in both MS-DOS (VGA graphics) and MS-Windows. An X-Windows version should be available shortly after. A Macintosh version is on the list of things todo, but we haven't found a programmer for it yet. No other versions are planned at the moment, but we are open to suggestions for other platforms. The objective of both versions is to closely as possible duplicate the Ogre Miniatures tabletop game, the online version should get pretty close to this, the pbem will be a bit different as there will be some major changes in turn sequences. Both versions will have several senarios available as well as allow players to design customer senarios. Also we will be doing an operational level Ogre game based on the World Conquest PBM rules from Prime Time Simulations. Basically you get to play the entire military of a Factory State.

Are you gonna repeat the dialogue box from OTCG for targeting ogre componets, or just use a bigger icon and click to damage componets? -HJC] Henry J.
