====== Ogre Digest, February 21st (Last: February 20th) ======== ===== Ogre Minis out of print From: "Grant A. Ladue" From: "John D. Gwinner" From: "Eric T. or Maryann C. Holmes" ===== Back In Stock 2/21 From: "Michelle Barrett" ===== Ogre Miniatures -- Gameday 2K2 -- An Invitation From: "Eric T. or Maryann C. Holmes" ============================== From: "Grant A. Ladue" Subject: Ogre Minis out of print Just FYI, there is usually one or more Ogre Mini's rulebooks up for auction on Ebay at all times. That's how I picked up a backup copy for myself. Let me second Henry's thoughts. A "unified" consistent rulebook is definitely called for at this point. Perhaps it should also have a small section detailing the differences between the many different versions of the rules. grant ===== From: "John D. Gwinner" Subject: Ogre Minis out of print > Our current plans call for a new edition of OM, in full color > and hardcover. I'm looking for a late summer release. Paul: I would like to offer up some of my photo realistic Ogre CAD images for inclusion in the book. Is that something we should discuss offline? (Please see the Ogre-Miniatures group on Yahoo ... More images to come in the next few weeks). == John == ===== From: "Eric T. or Maryann C. Holmes" Subject: Ogre Minis out of print GEV Jockies: Does this mean that the errata will be included? Will there be a map of the main antagonists? Could a new CRT be developed to become more consistent with the matrix and analog developed? Ask me about my expanded CRT..... Create another "unit table" for a 1::5000 scale battle. For Henry: Is there a way to get attachments into the news letter? Eric ===== [No. -HJC] ============================== From: "Michelle Barrett" Subject: Back In Stock 2/21 The following items are back in stock: GURPS Character Builder http://www.warehouse23.com/item.cgi?SJG5401 limited quantities of v2.1 GURPS Cthulhupunk http://www.warehouse23.com/item.cgi?SJG6070 limited quantities Ogre Miniatures Rules http://www.warehouse23.com/item.cgi?SJG7203 limited quantities Michelle Barrett Warehouse 23 Manager Steve Jackson Games www.warehouse23.com ============================== From: "Eric T. or Maryann C. Holmes" Subject: Ogre Miniatures -- Gameday 2K2 -- An Invitation <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< FLASH FLASH FLASH <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< There has been a possible Nippon incursion on the West coast of North America and there is a distinct possibility that a new unidentified Ogre has been detected approaching the city of San Francisco. Under water sensors have identified a large object the approximate size of an Ogre approaching the city at a relatively high rate of speed. The object appears to be moving randomly through the continental shelf, but NA Combine Intelligence postulates that the object is using continental trenches as a means of covering its approach to the city. All military forces in the SF Bay area are placed on high alert. All civilians within a thirty mile corridor of the coast are to be evacuated. End of Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< FLASH FLASH FLASH <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Fellow GEV Jockies and members of the Camino Real Post: Hey, have you got some GEV or Ogre figures collecting dust in the closet. Well, bring them out! We'll be using Ogre Miniatures with some small modifications during Game Day 2K2 in Albuquerque on 4/27/2002 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Directions to follow as provided by CRP Moderator Don Wolff. Here are some details....... 1) Scale 1::5000 (This makes it a close up battle and closer to the vehicle scale of 1::300.) 2) There will be some distance modifiers for close up actions. 3) There will be some modifiers based upon the Ogre Role-playing Manual. 4) The Referee will play the "new" Ogre type, unless .... 5) Every unit type will have a card with statistics. So there should be no sweat-ski for those who are beginners. 6) Ogre Miniatures has just gone out of print. No re-publish date. So see if you can get your hands on a copy. Call me if you need one. If you have any vehicles in 1::300 scale that are useable for Ogre/GEV, please drop me a line or call 896-8061 after 7pm. (Hey Slimak, can I ......) If you are interested in playing, drop me a line or call. At this time, due to health issues in the family that just came up, I won't be able to make Desert Wars in Las Vegas, so this may be the only time I can run a Steve Jackson Games sponsored event. (Jason, please note.) I've included this in the Ogre/GEV newsletter for info purposes. Eric T. Holmes Arctic Force Command (ARTFORCOM) o +. | * .
