============ OGREverse list, Dec 20th (Last: Dec 2nd) ============= ===== assorted what not From: "Dominique Sumner" ===== Online Ogre? From: "Fr.Inire" ------------------------------ From: "Dominique Sumner" Subject: assorted what not Quick question, I posted a note about trying to purchase acopy of GravArmor ,and now I can't remember who said they had a copy they would be willing to sell. How much do they want for it ,and what condition is the game in. I've also been playing with some designes for mortars, FASCAM artillery rounds, and new Inf. Heavy Weapons teams. I posted some new vehicle types on the OGRE web board, and my rants about getting some new material from SJG. I'd be happy with a couple of new maps! If anyone has tried out any of the new units I posted let me know. Also I still want to see your FO observer rules. If anyone out there saved a copy of them, I'd like to get them. I looked over your Ranger Inf. unit. I've got a few suggestions: 1) drop the marine capabilities. From the discription they give in Battlesuit, it does no look as though they have any amphibious capability. 2) how about trying something a little different with their movement. Ranger battlesuits are supposedly built for raiding and reconnaissance missions. How about trying a movement ate of 2/1 and moive like a GEV. this would allow them to simulate hit and run attacks on targets. 3) Let them have the same ability to mine structures, for demolition, as enginners. Current Ranger/ SF/Commando units have this as one of their primary tasks. In military terms it's known as Direct Action (DA). Last but not least how about somebody throwing out something new for Battlesuit. I'll probably work something up for new unit types (new drones, battlesuits, and snipers). ----- [I've added the FO article to the Infantry article on my homepage -HJC] ------------------------------ From: "Fr.Inire" Subject: Online Ogre? Hallo! Do you my any chance know of a PBEM or web-based means of playing Ogre? I'm trying to hook up with a playing buddy who is now 2k miles off, and we're exploring our options. Any info is greatly appreciated! -j ===== Jeff "My dice hate me!"
