The defender should be left wondering whether his extra forces are enough compensation for the attacker's GEVs, while the attacker bites his nails as he tries to preserve his highly breakable hovercraft until an opening presents itself."

...otherwise called "popcorn" by OGREs. Nice and crunchy. They pop when you cook 'em! The dauntless GEV Aces however, piloting advanced and far less crunchy craft, have names for enemy OGREs that are just as derogatory.

"AI Paperweights".

"Voodo Dolls".

...and:

OGREs are so ugly and stupid, when they look in the mirror, they not only scare themselves, they think they are looking at another OGRE.

OGRE AI stands for "Anemic Intelligence", or more accurately, "Anti-Intelligence", a more sophisticated way of just saying "Stupid".

How many OGREs does it take to screw in a light bulb? Ask a Vulcan...

...and so the list goes on...
Tim, just to humor an old ogrenard, did you attempt the scenario with GEV Aces also so stay to the original only. Unfortunately my gaming area will be in disarray for the next next few weeks due to some personal issues so I'm living vicariously through the forum for now.
