Default Ogre Playmat Preorders

As requested many times, we have now designed a playmat featuring the classic Ogre map. Steve and the team made this more than just a reproduction of the map, adding play aids directly to this 3' x 3' playmat design.

Awesome! Finally, I'll have the Ogre set I've been wanting for awhile now - Designer edition-sized classic counters on a playmat map. Thanks!

I am interested. Two things.

1) It does not look square even accounting for the viewing angle. Is it really 36" x 36"?

2) What are the sizes of the hexes?

That looks really good.

I see a CRT for each player. What else is printed on the sides?

This is a 36" x 36" playmat. NOTE: Playmats vary slightly at times, as the material is prone to stretching when cut. So it might be 35.98" x 36.01" or something dumb.

The vary slightly from the Ogre Sixth Edition standard. Steve wanted to use the space so the map length vs 36" available space impacted the design. It is slight.

We'll offer excess playmats for sale at our online store, Warehouse 23, in the future.

Damage trackers for a MkIII and a MkV for each side, by the look of it.

Also the CRT, I'm pretty sure.

Looks great.

Stats for the basic armor units would have been nice (the Ogres by definition have their record sheets already, one imagines), for those using miniatures, but it is what it shall be.

Still, a great, long-awaited addition!

EDIT: I'd be tempted to get two, but they really wouldnt join satisfactorily, so that saves me $40-50 for something else; not a substantial loss, at least on my end.


(Now, about a renewed outlet for fiction submissions...)
