OGRE Batrep #2: NA Combine gets a Technical Marginal Victory over the Soviets forces by default!

Battle Report [Batrep #2]

Scenario - Modified Command Post Battle. Both sides have 1 emplaced Command Post and 1 Mobile Command Post. The mobile CP provides+1 on the dice when attacking for all units within 10 inches.

Objective - Destroy both Command Posts.

Result: Neither side destroyed both Command Posts.


Heavy guns took the day - but the Combine Artillery protecting their Command Post proved to be too much for the SFS OGRE FENCER. Just about 5 miles away from wiping out the Combine CP, the OGRE had his treads shot off and it's last main gun blown away by emplaced guns and a lucky squad of Heavy Infantry. The SFS mobile CP was moving with the OGRE and the Combine GEVs finally took it out on their side of the battlefield. The Combine did not have enough forces to launch an attack on the Soviet Federated States CP, so it remained well defended on it's side of the battlefield without being touched.
The Fencer-B took out it's points value and more in Combine armor. A huge firefight in the middle of the map resulted in most of the Combine armor being wiped out of existence by the OGRE and his 2 Super Heavy escorts. Pictured below is the aftermath and the SFS armored strike force moving to engage the Combine left flank:

OGRE Batrep #1:The Soviet Federated States lost big today...

OGRE Battle Report [BatRep #1]


In which the newly formed Belorussian 51st Guard Tanks Regiment misses a LOT of shots





I ended up missing 14 of 15 shots in the final two turns of the game an capitulated the win to the Combine forces out of sheer disappointment. Better luck next time I guess.

GEV Squadron and Mobile Howitzer moved out of cover to take out a Super Heavy. One of the few bright spots on an otherwise shit covered battlefield!

I proceeded to miss all of the shots with everything on the hill over the next two turns. I only needed a 3 or better on D6's and rolled (14) 1s and (2) 2s. I don't even know how one does that abysmally.

The Mech Bays were taken over by a mysterious group of Russians....

I had to stop working on the Maxim Hover Tanks and associated infantry company to get ready to play some Steve Jackson Games' OGRE. This is my initial force I'll be using this weekend consisting of an OGRE MK III and a small screening force. The Russian Federated States are making their way towards Europe even now!


I pulled these out of ancient boxes Wednesday and they're ready for fine detail and matte varnish tomorrow. This was a speed painting project!
