The Ogre Advances

In the dim light of the pub, the Ogre MkIII advances, while its commander carefully checks the maximum range on the enemy howitzer. 

I was quite excited to get this Steve Jackson classic back on the table. It's just an incredible piece of game design. Really simple, completely asymmetrical, yet finely balanced. My friend (a new player) and I, got in two games. In the first game, I took the defence throwing my army against his gigantic cybertank. I made a couple of mistakes, but I think one lucky turn and I could have stopped him. As it was, the nearly weaponless tank crashed into my command post. In the second game, I took the Ogre. My opponent gambled on my strategy, but guessed wrong, and left me with a relatively easy run to the target, blasting it with one of my few remaining guns.

I didn't take any of my metal Ogres to the pub, as I don't have great transportation for them. I need to look into the that. Still, a lot of fun was had and plenty of lessons were learned!
