New Units for Ogre!



I created these units using a combination of Cobb’s new unit formula found here and common sense. Where fractions were involved values of costs were rounded up. These units have not for the most part been play tested and are most likely unbalanced, some are alternate versions of official or fan made units. The Laser units were posted in a previous update but are included for completeness.

Attack: 1/2/3
Defense: 1/2/3

Movement: 3"/2"
Cost: 4/8/12
-May give up second move to fly up, in game terms this increases their weapon range by 1" until end of turn.
-Move as GEV unless they move only 2” and none in the second phase in which case they may move as INF, in this turn they may still add 1” to their range for flying up.
