About the game
This Ogre unit promo pack is a result of the Ogre Kickstarter project, where BoardGameGeek pledged $9,000 for the creation and distribution of two sets of promos, one of which is this unit promo (the other promo set is a terrain pack!). Many ideas came from BoardGameGeek users, many others were devised by Steve Jackson, and all were finalized by Steve. Here are the unit descriptions straight from Steve Jackson himself! Looking at the front, left to right, top to bottom: FNRD the Ogre Ninja - This is the ONLY Ogre Ninja model that will be available in the first wave of Ogre units. ERNIE the Mark VI - One of only three Mark VI models in the first wave; the others are both red, but ERNIE is in BGG colors, dark blue with orange. Radio Tower - This was created especially for the BGG sheet, and is completely unique in this wave. It's intended as an objective - something really big to blow up. BGG Strongpoint - Blue and orange, dug into a hill. BGG-ZILLA - Drawn by Alex Fernandez. Suitable for all your giant monster needs! BGG Command Post - Defend it with your life. BGG Missile Crawler - Paneuro design, with a Paneuro insignia on it, but BGG colors. Created because BGG readers wanted a unit for "stop the runaway missile crawler!" scenarios.
