Battlefields KS - Page 12

Same for me, I was busy with a move when ODE hit, and wasn't keyed in to KS yet, or even really, the SJG website.

Good to have you both with us. :)

Me too. I was aware of the ODE KS, but did not participate. I got interested during the wait for its release.

I was an Ogre player from late 70's through late 80's. Got away from gaming entirely (except for a very rare game of chess) until last year.

In May of 2017, I rediscovered Ogre. Since then I have purchased O6E, Reinforcements, a sealed retail ODE, all the various sponsored counter sheets, dice, metal minis, plastic Set 1 minis (retail) & M1 map.

I've backed Kickstarters for Ogrezine, Ogrezine II, Minis Rulebook 2ED & now Battlefields.

As part of those, Ive gotten M2. M3, M4 & M5, Many Minis box & bullet dice (so far).

I missed the the Set 1 minis KS (drat!) and was budgetarily indisposed for the Minis Set 2 KS. Fortunately the Many Minis box came to the rescue...

Obviously, I was not around for the ODE KS.

Welcome to Ogreholics Anonymous - errr, umm, the Completionist Club. ;)

Yeh, I definitely have an Ogre problem..

The current generation of stuff is just so good!

While it'd be nice to have some more players, for those of us who are here, this is the Golden Age for Ogre. The level of support and quality of products over the past five-six years has been absolutely exceptional.

Concur!!!!

I agree. I never expected to see Ogre in full color, large format, all of it.

I remember the Deluxe Ogre set with the stand-up counters, but ODE/6E blows the lid off that for production values.

Thank you, each and every one of you. This absolutely makes my chest swell; it does my soul good knowing that we are reaching some "new" players, even if some are reclamations from the past. Please indoctrinate . . . er . . . introduce your friends; the more interest there is in our wonderful game, the more I can push to support it!

This is all on you, the fans. We're just responding to the support you've shown us! Thank you so much!
