Alan,

I was saying that Joel's FOGRE is big. It is big for 15mm. But not...
gi-normous. If you
used that same model in DS2 (and it is a scaled up version of the
1/300th version), then
it would *really* be impressive. That's what I was suggesting. Something more
akin to a moving mountain (ie Bolo). One of its treads would be wider than a
1/300th tank.

Infantry with IAVR? Please! Don't make me laugh. VTOLS with GMS/H?
Annoying gnats! MDC/5 -
stings a bit, but that's about it.

You could do some interesting scenarios, like the groundside equivalent of the
FT "all fighters vs. 1 star destroyer" scenarios.

That's where I was going with my comment. I knew there were nominally
1/300th scale ogres
already.:)

OK, all this talk and photos of OGREs has me drooling. Does anyone have
plans/drawings of OGREs (Top, Side, etc).  I think we could build them
from foamcore.

Tom,

The FOGRE is properly scaled for 15mm from 1/300th. It is
not a MkV, which would be larger, but a MkIII, and it scaled correctly.

Just gotta watch out for farmboys armed with proton torpedos aiming for your
thermal exhaust port.
