I confess I am nonplussed by the notion that the type of record sheet I am proposing will create difficulty for players. They never created difficulty in Car Wars so why would they in Ogre? Even leaving aside the likelihood that anyone who would use them can probably recite Ogre stats from memory in his sleep.

To clear up confusion I've knocked together a very raw image that suggests what I'm after. WARNING: I did it in about ninety seconds in paint, don't expect Tiepolo. Also I left out two AP guns.

Sloppy as that is, I think displays quite clearly how much of everything there is and where they are. Notice that we can dispense with little boxes for the weapons: different shapes can denote different weapons, and the whole shape can be crossed out.

It might even be fun for the opposing player to do the crossing off, like "BLAM I just shot that off!"
