Quick question about Ogre Ninja specs.

[richmlow]

Does anybody know how many treads the Ogre Ninja is supposed to have?

I've seen:

40 treads.
48 treads.

The specification on SJ's site says 40 treads, but that was dated Feb. 2005.

Any info. greatly appreciated.

I'd go with the website, I think it's the most current.

Although SJ's site says that it was updated Feb. 2005, I have my doubts. I think SJ says (somewhere) that those specs were converted by a fan into HTML. However, the date which that was accomplished might be even further back.

I've seen other sites quoting 48 treads for the Ogre Ninja....so who is to say? Since SJ does not seem to have any of the official specs anywhere, there is no way that anybody can be sure.

Is there any source material which can clarify this question?

Despite the robustness of the OGRE/G.E.V. game, a system with no official standardized rules/specifications is bound to cause confusion.

It's 40.

Five treads per inch of movement.

Given this unit's relative power in the game, 48 would seem to be too much of a bump. If you are lucky enough to hit it, you should be able to reduce its speed with tread attacks.

Do you know of any "source" material indicating this?

My apologies for being so pedantic, but I am in the process of compiling a technical manual for the canon Ogres. I hope to be as precise as possible, using the appropriate citations/references.

By the way, if anybody wants a completed version of this, please let me know!

I'm guessing its the Ogre Miniatures rule book.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure its 40 treads with five tread units per inch of movement.

And it was 10 per hex for four hexes in the Space Gamer article.

I have the same problem with my Mark 6. The specs in the Ogre book say 75 treads, two missile racks with 20 int. missiles, and no ext. missiles. While the specs on the ogre miniatures site say 72 treads, 3 missile racks with 12 int. missiles, and 6 ext. missiles. Does anyone know the correct Mark 6 specs?

The OGRE Minis version was considered too wimpy.

This page has the correct record sheet (AFAIK). http://www.sjgames.com/miniatures/ogre/mk6/
