Anyway, the Mark III-F is better than the Mark III (duh!), but not as good as the Mark III-B. I guess raw firepower beats speed. ----- [I'd redo my OGRE price formula, but I'd hate to spoil everybody else's fun. (Also nobody has even commented on my current formula (read my web) so the basis of such a formula has not been established.) -HJC] ------------------------------ From: "Todd A.

True, but given the state of gaming technology today. I feel that only a game based on the look and feel of the miniatures game would have any chance of commercial success. > You'll need to read http://www.sjgames.com/general/online_policy.html Always a good starting point. > Nobody's commented on my suggested changes for OGRE minis > (at my website, URL below.)

TAZ ----- [If you do computerize the minis game, be sure to include the mecha and Godzilla units. I'm surprised that nobody's rushed to the defense of the militia like the cavalry. (Squishly little things. I'd like to grind them undertread, but they keep squirming out of the way.) -HJC] Henry J.
