Ogre Treasures

Well, fair warning to all non-Ogre groupies: this is off-topic of FT,
but kinda on-topic for DSII, in light of the recent run of Ogre
posts....

So, like this afternoon after work I took a small trip over to the Armory, a
local game shop and games warehouse (they supply retailers all over).
Intentions were to pick up a few more tanks to start rounding out my slowly
growing Dirtside II force. On a whim I decide to wander about the ware-
house...poking my head here and there to see what different types of minis
they carry...and lo and behold...I found - OGRE MINIS!!!

Not a wide variety, no. But they were there! A handful of Combine light tanks,
a few Combine howitzers, a whole LOTTA Paneuropean missile crawlers, and....a
dozen Paneuropean Ogre "Fencers"! All put out by Ral Partha (I had no clue RP
did Ogre minis; the few that I have, hvy tanks and hwtzs, were the old, old
Martian Metals ones). And have quite nice detail (haven't opened the Ogres,
but the Lgt Tanks are now sitting mightily atop of this terminal:)

Now, I did *not* have enough with me to buy them out. However, I am the
proud owner of 6 light tanks (3 to a pack) and 2 'Fencers'. :-)  Which
means...there are still some 'Fencers' left! So if you act fast, and
before I get paid next week...  ;-)  (yeah, I coulda sandbagged y'all,
not said anything, and collected the entire group, then sold 'em at a slightly
higher price than what I would have paid for them ($5.25 US), but I'm just not
that way...)

Now, I *did* pick up two Ogres, so if anyone out there happens to have any
extra Ogre Mk V's or III's they'd be willing to trade for a 'Fencer',
we can talk.  :-}

I am going back next week to see if any of the howitzers remain. And maybe
pick up a missile crawler or two. Don't buy 'em all out, okay??
