The Ogre must expend it's own long range firepower (and probably movement) trying to get the GEV's and given the current point value of the Ogre, it's unlikely to get them all. Overall, I don't see it being a reasonably valued unit operating on it's own.
I agree, that is why I stipulated that this is a support unit. Much like a mobile howitzer would not go charging into battle without infantry or armor support, this Mark VII "Lancer" (as I call it) would not go in without 'mixed arms' of Mark IVs or Mark III. In fact it was built to supplement Mark II Brigades.
