maps!

Pezpengy · 10-28-2020, 01:32 AM

I just bought the battle box - played this game to death all through the 80's and its nice to go back and play again!
except...
... the battle box doesnt have the original map! i still have my 1978 map but its framed on my office wall and its too small for the new minis anyways. is one available (those rubber mats are nice) at 1.5" size in the original colors? i made a printable one that the local office depot made for me but its just not the same.
another wierd thing is that the box doesnt have the stats for the units. there are some images of 'counters' scattered throughout the rulebook. i mostly remember them but there are a few i cannot recall... like the light tank. we rarely used them; and anyways my wife doesnt trust im telling her the truth when she's trying to squish my cp with a mark v.

help please! :)

You did know that pdfs of the maps are available here right? http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/resources/

On that same page you can find the a brief document that will give you stats for most (all?) of the battlebox units:

Going from mini's to hexes 2" = 1 hex.

Welcome back to Ogre!

The original Ogre map (the "orange" map) is currently only available in ODE/O6e scale (1.5" hexes) in the Ogre 6e box set.

Pezpengy I wound up scouring ebay for a loose Ogre map, paid a bit much but like you I had to have it. I asked here if it would ever be released on its own and the official word was there are no plans to.
