Ogre Miniatures 2?

[Mack_JB]

I do have one really minor nit to pick with the Battlebox.

The included die cut sheet of tokens, trains, and Missile Crawlers were punched so the back side (disabled or wrecked) was the top face, and the traditional front is the bottom side -- so the die cuts are backwards of ODE and 6E counters. That is, the rounded die cut edges are down in normal play, not on the top.

It's my OCD showing, I know ...

Which reminds me - the box says there's 2 Black HVYs, but the package has 8 (and is clearly packaged that way). Was that a misprint on the box that got missed? Not that I'm arguing :)

That's a misprint. Please send all extra HVY tanks to me for proper disposal. ;)

OCD in a miniatures game? Never!

I noticed the different cut side, got stumped by the false bottom for a few seconds, found the extra black tanks and felt good. Now after work I have to go line up the grey Set 1 vs Set 2 because I think Set 1 might be wider.

Ah, but the proper side up for targets is the revealed/damaged side!

When they're shooting at you, sure, but when they're supposed to be shooting at your enemies...

Arrived in NY earlier today. I am glad I ended up getting only two of the boxes instead of three; it was overwhelming enough already! That said, I can understand the hoarding instinct, given the length of time the minis were out of production. Got to cover your you know what if there should be another long stretch of Ogre silence, after all....

Although an understandable sentiment, this is easily defended against.

All we need to do is each recruit one new player to the game (bonus points for more than one!). If we each find just one new devotee to the game, defined as someone who loves the game enough to find a new devotee of their own, then the growth will be exponential. Steve will need to change the official SJG logo from the pyramid to the Ogre silhouette, Andrew will curse my name as all of his amazing Munchkin ideas wither on the vine due to staffing being pulled to support the demand for Ogre sales, and Phil will need to commission an actual Mark V for Steve (drawing interest from the Pentagon, further stressing the overworked staff!).

Hmm...perhaps it's just better if you order extra sets.

My girlfriend wants to play again when she comes back to Chicago. But I'll be buying her copies. :D

I got mine a couple day sback - I was expecting only one, but I had accidentally selected the 2x Many Minis option.

When I got the shipment notification I thought it was only M1 (which ALSO showed up)
