Default Re: Any rumors of post mini set 3 new products?

There was an excellent scenario in OGREZine 2 called "Defend the Negev!" which used a MK II as a opponent in a multi-border cat-and-mouse scenario. Because Mk Is and IIs are relatively cheap, you can use a lot more of them in scenarios than the bigger Ogres without turning the game into nothing but Ogres. (Which, in itself, is not actually a bad idea.) While the "official" OGRE history indicates that the MK I and II were relegated by the MK III to secondary roles, they were still produced in massive amounts because they could operate in areas that MK IIIs often could not reach due to transport difficulties and a LOT of MK Is and IIs were sold to third parties throughout the Last War. (Which was a VERY long time.) So I can see lots of uses for both smaller Ogres and I will happily pledge for the biggest package to get as many of them as possible.

I recall seeing Defend the Negev! Haven't looked at it too much, let alone played it yet.

Could be a good use for the Mk I/ Mk Ii's.

For me, the reason I want a bunch of MK Is and IIs is the fiction and other stuff says that there were lots of them for every larger Ogre on the battlefield.

A wolf pack of MkIs or IIs vs. a III or V is a fun little duel.

Ooooh! You just gave me inspiration for a scenario.
I'm going to title it: "Whack-A-Mole."

Mk.I I could take or leave. Mk.II I want a large number of. I like the look of it best of all the NAC Ogres.

Hopefully Jeff still has it laying around somewhere, he playtested something like that for me. If it can be dug up, be my guest, hopefully it gives you a head start on seeing it through to completion. :D
