- Maybe your lack of painting skill, is simply a lack of practice at painting.
- Wasn't Deluxe Ogre supposed to be that nice new edition of OGRE? I find it
- hard to believe that someone would not buy Deluxe OGRE simply because the game
- came with stands. If so, why was Battletech such a hit? Seems to me you have
- four choices: 1) Buy the original pocketbox games, and use those chits,
- 2) Buy Deluxe Ogre and use the stands, 3)Buy the miniatures, and the miniature
- rules, and paint them (the best way!), 4)Buy one of the above sets of rules, and
- make your own counters. Sorry, but OGRE was not made by Avalon Hill so you
- probably won't see it with die cut counters with overhead pictures (Deal with it).
- The game is available in several formats. Miniatures and terrain help capture
- your imagination, and add to the gaming experience, but if a game is really worth
- playing what difference does it make if you use chits, counters, or stands?

- Move to New York.
