=============== OGRE/GEV list, May 30th (Last: May 25th) =============== ===== Ogre on PC From: Chris Camfield ------------------------------ From: Chris Camfield Subject: Ogre on PC To: hcobb@io.com (Henry J.

Rather than turn back, the Ogre will grind its way forward, and you can follow it, blasting every protrusion off of the hull.

I'm of two minds about what to do while waiting for the Austin gang to release product. The first possibility is to chat about the eclectic topics involved in actually building a robotic MBT and what it'll look like when it's deployed. (By my calendar in 2015) The second is to look at how to adapt tactics from several different sources to OGRE. (Mostly things I've cribed from Marine Corps Gazette, a great read, it shows you exactly what the FMC is doing, because it takes all dozen of the literate Marines to put out a magazine (Just kidding!, please don't shoot me!

A book that isn't a great read is "Machines That Kill" Edited by Saberhagen, et el (Ace Sci-Fi, 1984). Because, even though it has reprints we already seen from Saberhagen and Laumer, otherwise it doesn't seem to have many killer machines. (If you discount Bulldozers with PMS) -HJC] Henry J.
