OGRE Battle Report [BatRep #6] ...ending in the ubiquitous draw.

 OGRE Battle Report [BatRep #6]


**Please note: I had to re-upload these pics because of problems with another hosting site, so this report is missing some of its' graphical data.

Scenario - Four objective zones on the map with one 5 point objective in each players' deployment zone - these generate no Victory Points for the player who owns that objective. The players' must take their opponents 5 point objective to score those points. There are two 3 point objectives in the middle of the map on each side. Victory Points are awarded at the end of each players' turn.

Forces involved: 300 Points of North American Combine units vs. 150 points of Soviet Federated States units, and 150 points of Pan-Euro units.

Objective - Occupation and Defend. Objectives on the map provide points every turn if a player has a unit wholly within that zone. There are (2) 3-point areas, and (2) 5 point areas. The 5 point objectives are inside each players' deployment zone and the owning player scores no points for that objective.


This was the battlefield:


For this game, I chose to take a lone unit for my 150 points: An OGRE MK IV. It calls itself 'Deadpool.' [You know those OGRE AI's - they can be a bit quirky!]





FOC and disposition of the 1st Deadpool Combat Support Brigade:

FOC and disposition of the Soviet Federated States units turn one... number of units: 1.


The Southern Sector was a mess with the bulk of the PE and NAC armored forces colliding there:





Meanwhile, back in the eastern sector in the NA Combine deployment objective, Deadpool would only hold out against the defenders for two turns - after that, the OGRE succumbs to the defenders guns.



After getting its' main and secondary batteries shot off along with 52 of 56 treads and 8 Anti-personnel guns, Deadpool limped away (but not before taking out a unit of infantry and one of the missile tanks!). Deadpool survived the mission by limping into the urban area for cover. The MK IV had just its' 3 missile racks left - they had been emptied out with 11 of 15 hits on Combine forces!





FINAL SCORE:
Soviet Federated States with the Deadpool Combat Support Brigade: 49
North American Combine: 48
DRAW!
