Are OGRES too large for bridges?
What is the size limit for crossing over a bridge?
Smaller OGREs are size 4-6 and larger ones go from size 7 to size 9! Is there a cut off to what size unit can cross over a bridge like the one on S3 hex 0716?

Re: Are OGRES too large for bridges?
A quick perusal of the GEV pocket box indicates that Ogres can use every bridge on the G-1 map, unless specified otherwise by a scenario. The Battlefields rulebook concurs. Bridges on the GEV maps can support Ogres. Indeed, there is a special rule for what happens to an Ogre if it's on a full-hex bridge when the bridge is destroyed.
Unit size ratings, and bridges having limits based on that, seems really to be an Ogre Minis thing. Last edited by HeatDeath; 11-14-2021 at 07:38 PM. |

Thank you for the polite response.
I was watching a WW2 film and saw that many bridges were off limits to the German Tiger tank and it got me thinking - did bridge designers think about OGREs when they built the bridge?

I see Interstate bridge regs are max 20,000 pounds per axle and 80,000 pounds gross weight. Guess treads more evenly spread the weight?

Ogres aren't too large for bridges - bridges are too small for Ogres! /rorschach

Long answer; the rules for bridges in Ogre Miniatures actually take size into account, the hexmap game does not.

I also like to imagine a Vulcan who really enjoys designing and building bridges. |
