- I've got a big counter version of Ogre! But then we have a color
- laser printer on the network here. I did up the map on 11x17
- paper, and redid the counters. I really HATE the font on the
- Ogre/GEV counters, mine are much easier to read.
-
- Actually I've got a number of versions of my map and counters.
- I've got on that folds up and can go away with me, and I've got
- one with magnetic backers. I have a white board at work with
- the current situation up and running on it. Today is not
- a good day to be in the command post...
