Thanks sqw :-)

If it's OK, I may add that as a reference weblink on the BGG entry?

Version 2 of the S&TO Information Briefing has now been updated on BGG.

I also plan to add more discussion material in relation to some of the counters over the coming months. Here's hoping those new owners of Ogre 6th Edition get a 'green mapboard' to get extra benefit from these counters too.

Thank you. I'm in the process of tinkering with a scenario to submit for the Ogrezine. Hopefully once it's done, it'll make the cut.

Many thanks to you then! Any help I can offer, please let me know.

I'm drafting a combined fiction item plus scenario specifically for one of the GEV-MCPs. I'm conscious that I've not yet provided more information on these vehicle counters, and after Mr Jackson himself did such a good job on the naming concept, they deserve more focus.

Roughly, the setting is amidst one of the NAC invasion campaigns onto mainland Europe. With NAC forces steadily pushing back the PanE frontline, a PanE General (and ardent student of medieval history) decides upon a counter-campaign. The aim is to strike into NAC rear zones, intent on causing as much disruption as possible, even to draw back advancing NAC forces towards himself.

The tactic was favoured by Edward, the Black Prince in the Hundred Years War. He and other English commanders would launch flying columns to wreak havoc in France, not just to pillage and plunder, but to discredit the French monarchy by proving to the native population they were better off with English overlords.

This was the 'Chevauchee' - known in other regions as the 'Razzia' or the 'Cavalgada', or the 'Ghazwa'.

My intention is that the General takes a GEV-MCP to maintain comms with PanE High Command, and then builds around it a small army of fast attack assets, possibly limiting the amount of Infantry that goes with it and ensuring any he does take are carried in GEV-PCs. He certainly won't want slow vehicles - so any vehicle that's M2 or M1 is left behind.

Allowing other PanE Commands to punch a hole in a NAC frontline area, the 'Chevauchee' pours through without stopping, with initial orders to RV at a mustering point by a set date. It means their forces just scatter and hide, generally avoiding combat at first, using the comms codes from the GEV-MCP as their 'beacon' to make their advances.

Once the Force re-gathers at the RV, from that point the map will show a scattered selection of targets (various S&TO counters as Facilities to attack) along with random NAC forces stationed at key locations. This aspect will involve making stacks of NAC vehicles and troops using a set number of points, leaving them offboard with a numbered marker on the stack, that corresponds with the same numbered marker placed on the map.

So that's the synopsis so far for “General Zwolanski’s Chevauchee”.

Just a reminder on the prices quoted here. We'll extend this to 31st March at least.

Have to say many thanks to all those who've purchased from us these past three months. Awesome - glad the S&TO sheet is extending people's enjoyment of the main game.

News on this - I've asked Drew and the webmastery experts to change the contact details on the Sponsored Counter Sheets page from Wayland Games UK to tiffingames@gmail.com - just so that we can turn orders around faster with direct contact with us.

And - the Briefing document has been formatted to look like true-to-form Ogre product, and it looks pretty impressive. The intention has always been to have this as freeware - free to download for all. My thanks go out to the volunteers who have a preview copy right now for proofreading and comments. I'm hoping we can sort this out soon, so it can be shared in that proper format for all. I'll keep you posted on progress.
