The OGRE Mark IIIB (Steve Jackson Games 10-0104) miniature is complete and completely assembled. The figure was a bit over-lighted for the SuperSize Images; what may seem white in the Images is actually a light gray. A beautifully painted piece (though we have fondly nicknamed it "The Toad") with outstanding MegaExtras!!! For a wide variety of other nearly impossible to find OGRE miniatures, view our other 20+ OGRE\G.E.V. listings in the Sci-Fi Games section of our store!!!
The MegaExtras are massive!!! Included are extra scenarios, the art for variant counters, more units (naval, air, and armor!!), variant rules, variant damage sheets which are a much more elegant and enjoyable way of recording damage to the deadliest cybernetic weapon on the battlefields of 2085 A.D., Steve Jackson's design notes, a wealth strategic analysis, Greg Costikyan's rules for bombers, fighters, and flying OGREs, and much more!!! Some to all of the MegaExtras will be sent by email upon shipment of your purchase.
"The Toad" (besides its physical appearance) can like its namesake can knock down its foes like flies with tongues of flames. The III-B is an up-gunned variant of the standard Ogre Mark III. It is armed with 2 main batteries, 4 secondary batteries, 8 anti-personnel batteries, and 4 missiles. Like the Mark III, it starts the game with 48 tread units. The Sheffield factory did not have III-B templates; this model was thus not found in the Paneuropean order of battle. Combine planners apparently never made up their minds whether the III-B was a good idea, or whether the extra weaponry was too large an investment to trust to the III's chassis. A III-B was significantly more expensive than a III, Nevertheless, it was a very effective unit, worth 120 points, and remained in production as the most potent cybertank of its size class, even after the Mk. V was developed.
The first really successful front-line unit, the Mark III became a mainstay of both Paneuropean and Combine forces. It has 1 main battery, 4 secondary batteries, and 8 anti-personnel batteries. It also carries two large missiles in exterior launching tubes. It starts the game with 48 tread units. The Mark III was the first Ogre designed from the ground up. It was a truly massive machine, carrying over two meters of BPC armor. It was turretless and articulated; the trademark "tower" was capable of folding back for hull-down concealment. This was the first Ogre to carry missiles. During the Last War there were more Mark IIIs built than any other type of Ogre. When England fell to Paneurope in 2079, the Sheffield factory was captured almost intact, and within four months it was producing Mark III units for the Paneuropeans. Thus, for the majority of the war, both sides had Ogres. The Paneuropeans called their Mark III the "Legionnaire."
OGRE\GEV was in print for decades and is easily one of the most popular science fiction board games ever printed. One player is the OGRE, a massively nightmarish cybernetic tank! The other player(s) commands tanks, armed hovercraft, missile cannon, and infantrymen in powered armor in a frenzied attempt to stop the behemoth OGRE. A number of add-on expansions and minatures for OGRE\GEV were released (and we frequently have some in stock).
