It's been a long time coming. |
This just in: Steve Jackson Games has announced
it will release a new version of the classic sci-fi tank game OGRE later this year. Although it doesn't include any miniatures, the sixth edition of
this venerable wargame does include
constructible cardstock OGREs and large (1.5-inch) hex maps. Good news for fans who have been frustrated in trying to find copies of this long-out-of-print game.
For tread-head reaction, see
the OGRE/GEV message board on the SJG website. For more details, and pictures of the counters, check out
this sell sheet the company put together.

Sweet. The cardstock tank reminds me of Pirates of the Spanish Main, and I wonder if this might become a collectible tank game, with booster packs of cardstock models.
There's no indication SJG will produce any expansions, and from what they're saying, it looks like they're only gonna do a single print run.
The map hexes look like the're the same size as the maps from Deluxe OGRE and Deluxe GEV sets, so I will still be able to use my minis with this game board.
Any way you look at it this is great news.
I love me some Ogre.
This does look good indeed. I've been ramping up to do some Ogre Miniatures myself, so I'm in an Ogre kinda mood.
And Desert Scribe, I am certain that if the sales of this are strong enough, more material will follow.
Certainly has got the old creative juices flowing in the Paint-it-Pink household
