Okay! Thank you all. I have to say, most of the latest round of comments ascended to the level of copy editing, if not downright game development. But I agreed with a lot of them. Did I say thanks? Thanks.

I'm going to call the rules done, turn this last set of corrections over to Gabby, and . . . think about what to do next!

Square is fine too, I just preferred the ovals...the main thing is the movement stat block on the FanMade OGRE Unit Card.
Is it at-a-glance easier to tell movement than the one we currently have?
This sure doesn't prove anything, but two of the two OGRE players and friends I know said yes.
(Sorry, that was the best I could poll so far...lol). Your movement at any given time will be whatever your tread units
are within the numbered bracket. Those brackets are what make it at-a-glance easier to tell, at least that's my biased opinion.

If it's a viable option, and makes game play flow better maybe all the new OGRE unit cards can be updated
with the bracket movement idea.

Default Sneak peek at the new set?

Am I mistaken, or is that the new Ogre box's counters on the wall in the background?

Well they certainly aren't sheets for Munchkin! Looking cool, starting to drool.

That sheet has seven crater/clear hex overlays, three ridge/clear hexline overlays, a Mark V, two Mark IIIs, a CP, a MCP, and four ? tokens.

But what's that counter in the upper corner? An attacker GEV?
