Default Ogre Miniatures Set 1 Assembly PDF?

Would SJG be willing to post a PDF of the assembly instructions for Set 1 now that it's shipping? I brought a Mk III to work today without them and only realized the secondaries had to match specific holes when I started assembly. It's not too hard to figure out from looking at a picture, but the instructions would have saved me a few minutes :)

Thanks!

I just glue the barrels in whatever hole I grab them for first. Mine will therefore have all manner of weird angles to them.

I don't know of a PDF, but the Minis Lite rules in the Set 1 box (at least the KS box, can't speak for retail) do have an assembly sheet as part of them. Worst case you can snapshot that with your phone or something.

The bare bones "instruction sheet" in the box doesn't use the part numbers though, it just shows the parts and where they go. So seemingly, the part numbers on the sprues are for show, and not really for reference.

I know, but I had just grabbed a green Mk III in case I had time to assemble it on a break and forgot to grab the assembly guide which I'd put back in the box. And then I was disappointed to find it wasn't online (yet). :(

I only glanced at the sheet the night before, so I didn't remember that. That's disappointing, but easy enough to rectify when I have time - I'll just have to cut and fit them one at a time to match numbers to holes. And while I know I can just put them anywhere, I like to know what the instructions are before I ignore them... :P

An interesting request. Let me see what I can do.

That said, a lot of the staff are at either BGG.Con or PAX Unplugged. So this may take a little bit . . .

In assembling my Ogres, it seems like the secondary barrels should be placed as below (looking down on the Ogre, Ogre facing forward:


Front

2. 1.


4. 3.


6. 5.

Rear

Well, I know how it's not supposed to be!

Front
1 4
2 5
3 6
Rear

Looks like it's firing randomly into a crowd, angled all over the place.

Granted, I also assembled my first couple MSL tanks backwards, too...couldn't see the details well enough to realize that was the command center, so assumed sloped armor = forward. Oops.

I have to admit, the first batches of Ogres I built, I cut all the barrels off the runners, then glued them in place as I grabbed them. Those early Ogres have barrels wildly pointing to all sectors. The final four Ogres I built, I put them in the sockets as above, and they all look too sterile.

I am indecisive about parade ground order or battlefield animation.
