============ OGREverse list, Sep 22nd (Last: Sep 18th) ============= ===== Battlesuit Morale From: "William Spencer" ===== Artwork for MkI, MKII, etc? From: Jpattern@aol.com ===== A lost email address... From: "Stephen Said" ===== Blinding the beast From: Robert Gurskey ------------------------------ From: "William Spencer" Subject: Battlesuit Morale Does anyone have a copy of the Battlesuit Morale (Shock/Panic) Rules handy? I lost my copy of Battlesuit long ago, and have been trying to remember those rules in particular (I liked the fact that those battlesuit guys might panic and shoot their own friends, or run to huddle in cover somewhere...) ------------------------------ From: Jpattern@aol.com Subject: Artwork for MkI, MKII, etc? Is there a rulebook or site with artwork depicting the OGRE MkI, Mk II, Mk VI, and the other "unusual" marks of OGREs? I know the Mk I is about the size of a Superheavy, with a conning tower, but what about other details? I'd like to scratch-bash some of these other marks using various other microarmor, especially Ral Partha Battletech tank chassis, and I can take a stab at them based on the written descriptions in various rulesets and websites, but a few drawings would make my job a lot easier. So, any artwork anywhere? Jeff Moore jpattern@aol.com ----- [You've seen http://www.clark.net/pub/nyrath/ogre.html I take it? How about the Battletech Puma Tank? (A dead ringer for the Mk II in guns and size.) -HJC] ------------------------------ From: "Stephen Said" Subject: A lost email address... Hello Henry, There is an Orge fan here in Australia named Paul O'Grady that I was collaborating with on strategic rules. I have lost his email address. Are you able to send me his address? If not, can you forward my email address (ssaid@earthling.net) to him? Thanks in advance...

It seems an obvious target. What would destruction of the sensor platform for an Ogre do. Reduce weapons range by 1? Maybe only for missiles? I figure loss of the tower would not affect AP since there range is so short the weapons probably have there own sensors. Just a thought. ----- [Have you read "The Night of the Trolls" in Keith Laumer's "The Compleat Bolo"? If I'd take a stab at it, I'd propose D4 on any size OGRE (If you armor it well enough to keep out all radiation it kinda defeats the purpose of the device, t'cha?) The game effect is that in OGRE minis an intact tower lets the OGRE trace line of sight from it (return fire, except at the tower is to the hull) and so operate "hull down". Once the tower is lost, the OGRE traces line of sight from each weapon to the target. (Which is still much better than using the little dot the OGRE is really at.) -HJC] Henry J.
