OGRE and its sequel G.E.V., are tactical ground combat games set in the not-so-distant future. In 2085 A.D., armored warfare continues - faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks and infantry slug it out with tactical nuclear devices. But the most feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's giant cybernetic tank called the OGRE.
The basic OGRE game gives one player a force of infantry and armor, and a command post he must defend. The other player has only one unit - but it's an OGRE. It's an even match. Advanced games allow solitaire or multi-player action, with OGREs on both sides.
Microgame #1 in the Metagaming Microgames series, and the original release of Ogre. Origin of the Ogre/G.E.V line.
Later publication by Steve Jackson Games is title Ogre/G.E.V. includes the sequel game, G.E.V., which adds new rules and unit types for greater tactical gameplay.
