[Board Game] OGRE 6th Edition Kickstarter campaign

[The Adventurer]

So Steve Jackson Games has been planning a new edition of OGRE for a while, but a few days ago they started a Kickstarter campaign to build up preorders and better gage demand.

Since it went live they met their $20k goal in less then an hour and are now sitting at $125k a little more then a day latter.

I've no prior experiance with the game, but I'm inclined to throw my $100 in the rite based on the shear enthusiasm. I'm curious if there are any fans of the game here, as the game premise has a very 2000 AD feel to it (future giant tank warfare in a post-apoc future). Currently there is no overseas shipping options via Kickstarter (they are working on that problem).

Wow ogre.

Still got the original game and the sequel GEV. It was a classic back in the 80's that put serious (ish) board wargaming in a pocket sized format. I played it quite a lot but I wouldn't pay for a new edition. It was of its time. Move on.....

That said having looked at the proposal it is kind of exciting......

It's a classic of its day. Glad to see it doing so well on the Kickstarter!
