The following is my idea for the Chinese manned Ogres mentioned in the Ogre universe flavour text, the idea of having disabled weapons has been used before by other players but the other stats are my own and my brothers ideas. We imagined the Ogres as looking sort of like World War II armored trains and having symmetrical large turrets on either side of its massive BPC chassis. The special rules and stats for the two different versions are given below with approximate but probably not accurate points values. I am also working on comprehensive tables of all Ogres available to the different factions by year, some of my own creation and some official, which I use as reference consistently but it needs a bit more work. I will try to have it up soon in the meantime enjoy the below. As a side note on the theme of this writing this is in no way supposed
to be political and is based on a theoretical future in an alternate
universe and in no way represents my actual views on this region or any
current, past or future events in the world.
In
2074 the Chinese Hegemony was facing a difficult dilemma. Their invasion of
Japan had failed, they had lost any hope of naval supremacy, and they were
facing an invasion of mainland China. China was outmatched technologically on
every front but had supremacy in numbers. Beyond this China faced a greater
foe, the Nihon cybertanks were rolling over inferior Chinese tanks. China
lacked sufficient AI capabilities but began the “Dragon” program anyway,
eventually mass producing the monstrous manned weapons platforms by 2085, despite
being manned they were relatively effective and their numbers made them very
powerful. Due to their relative success a second version was designed and produced by 2087
Special Rules:
-Weapons are disabled on a “D” result.
-When an XX result is rolled on a weapon remove the
weapon and roll a d6 on a 5 or a 6 remove a structure point as well.
-May not target more than two targets in a single
turn, unless it shoots with a -1 modifier to all die rolls that turn.
