From: Tony Reynolds ===== Ogre on PC From: sdorr@IX.NETCOM.COM (Scott David Orr) ------------------------------ From: GarethB2@AOL.COM To: hcobb@io.com Subject: Where to buy Ogre stuff? Henry, Is it still possible to get the Ral Partha OGRE figures and the DCP buildings from ANY source? And if so, what sort of price range are we talking? I've looked everywhere (it seems), but have come up with nothing. Any pointers would be appreciated. Gareth Branwyn ----- [The only place I know, and they only have a handful. (Including another Lancer) is Centurion Military Hobbies at (510) 937-2623. -HJC] ------------------------------ To: hcobb@io.com From: zirto@bdol10.indepth.com (Todd A. Zircher) Subject: What's coming next? > I'm of two minds about what to do while waiting for the Austin gang >to release product. Any idea what's next for OGRE/GEV? Or, would this be a good time to start wishing for a new OGRE computer game to fill in for the lack of players in my area? Todd A. Zircher zirto@bdol10.indepth.com "Venimus, vidimus, dolavimus.

(By my calendar in 2015) It won't have that cusp on the outside on an Ogre's ball turret socket. :) Every time I look at that, I think of how I'd be the most frustrated Ogre in the world because of how it would limit my field of fire. :) I could just turn... but we're looking at an economy of movement here. "UNIT TNY of the Line reporting. Request depot maintenance. I require a technician to saw the cusps off my main battery sockets. I have made this request forty-seven times. I shall override my programming and begin to destroy friendly equipment should command not comply with my request this time." > The second is to look at how to adapt tactics from several different >sources to OGRE. Give "Team Yankee" by Harold Coyle another read. I've got about 10pp to go before I'm done with it. Ogre Project Status: Need solder. Dremel tool with dental burrs eats Ralladium. CHOMP. Camera is foobar. I'm thinking about keeping a journal. Someone suggested screws to hold the thing together. Always wear your safety glasses.
