After action report: JIGG Tokyo Akihabara, August 19, 2018
After finding a Japan International Gamers Guild within short distance on Meetup, I registered and posted that I'd be bringing Ogre 6E. Managed to hood two new players.
Game 1: Basic Mark III I played defense, "K" got the hang of the Ogre really quick and the dice favored him. I went for a 2 howitzer defense but only one of them got any shots in before falling to a missile. He made it up to the CP with more than enough treads and me with little enough force left that the CP fell easily. No way I could have destroyed remaining treads or armaments so Ogre Victory Game 1: Basic Mark III I played defense, "T" took his time learning the Ogre but the dice REALLY favored him.2 SHVs fell to a missile and lucky dice with a main battery. By the time he rammed the CP, he had only anti infantry guns left and only 2MP but I was down to only infantry so again Ogre Victory. I didnt mind losing twice in a row to compete new players, just really happy to get some games in. I'll be heading to the next JIGG a month from now if all goes well. |

Glad to hear you were able to recruit a couple new players.
Did they enjoy their games? I always enjoy it when a new player wins their first game, or if the game is very close. If a first-time player loses badly, i feel like they may be discouraged from playing again. Thanks for the report. Keep spreading the word and Expand The Base! |

That aversion to random consequences from dice is common, especially with those who grew up on Euro games.
The orange map scenarios are very balanced. Maybe something a little more complex on a GEV map would let "T" practice more strategy and tactics. |

Next month I’ll try prepping something on GEV maps or with M1

Many small rolls is more likely to be effective over time (but still not guaranteed). It might help to direct them to read Playing the Odds in Ogre/G.E.V. from the Ogre Articles page

The D6 has often caused me to question everything I accept regarding statistics & probability.
That said, I've taken out more than a few MB's on a 1-2 shot.. |

And GP knows that - see the SHVY thread. He sat a SHVY in the middle of Breakthrough - no way around it. So I rushed it with my full force of GEVs, and missed like eight shots in a row. (What happened after was even more embarrassing.) |
