Default Re: New Scenario: Dogpile

Initial impressions: Yes, this is a tough scenario for the Ogre. It's like a hard workout: You start off strong, but those last few reps (kills) can be just a bit too much. Because firepower is so important here, knocking out lots of enemy weapons in the first turn or two gives a big advantage. Maneuver can still be useful, but you have to win the attritional battle.

My (highly preliminary) advice for the Ogre is to fire both missiles on turn 1, ram as much as possible, and head for a corner to minimize the attrition from LAD fire. The armor should, of course, keep maximum firepower on the Ogre. Also, it should avoid leaving itself vulnerable to daisy-chain rams. Targeting the MB and 2B first still seems like a good idea, but it may make sense to start shooting at the treads earlier than you would in a kill-the-CP scenario. That question is worth further experimentation.
