============ OGREverse list, Nov 15th (Last: Nov 11th) ============= ===== Ogre mini's do exist From: Preston Gustine ===== Long Range OGRE Missiles From: "jim clem" ------------------------------ From: Preston Gustine Subject: Ogre mini's do exist Well it's taken some searching and fun fun fun, but I have found OGREs out there, 2 MK III's, 3 MK V's, 2 Fencers, and 2 MK IV's ( I think he means Fencers, but that will do) And I really am serious about the resin casting or even metal casting, whichever one turns out to be cheaper and or easier to do. ----- [I would strongly advise that you speak with the gentleman who charters this list and come to some agreement with him and his company before you proceed much further. -HJC] ------------------------------ From: "jim clem" Subject: Long Range OGRE Missiles Would it be reasonable to consider MSL attacks as having a longer range as well? Also, what does this do to the OLCM concept? Jim Clem, B.S.E.

Why put up with all that load if you can get almost the same range much more cheaply? Maybe too cheaply. I was trying Advanced Ogre with LROM, the defense had 12 GEVs up front, 8 missile tanks stretched across the line in a cloud of single and double squad infantry and then 4 full strength platoons from 1201 to 1503 with the CP in 1401 and a laser tower in 1502. The Mark Five tried to bully its way through and actually marched down the line of missile tanks, but at a high cost. So at the end of the OGRE's seventh fire phase, it launched its last missile, having alrady lost both mains and having gotten knocked down to 23 thread units. The OGRE was in 0808 with two missile tanks in front (one disrupted) and six armor units behind. The OGRE went for a Hail Mary pass and launched that last missile. The missile tank and the laser tower failed to intercept on launch, but no problem, as the missile had to fly within range of nine squads of infantry and there was a 81 percent chance that at least one squad would roll 10 or better, right? So the result is rump roast command post. Next time, the CP gets D3. -HJC] Henry J. Cobb ogre@sjgames.com http://www.io.com/~hcobb All OGRE-related items Copyright (c) 1998, by Steve Jackson Games.
