  Strategic Use of Ogres
Paneurope always know where the Ogre is to within a few kilometers, but are never in a position to launch a missle with confidence that they'll be able to target the Ogre within a couple kilometers in the two minutes it takes the cruise missle to reach it.
The combine forces are alerted that the Ogre is returning, and launching a fixing attack on a section of the Paneuropean line, preventing them from attacking the Ogre as it approaches their lines from behind; this way it faces only a few minutes of combat to breakthrough, instead of a prolonged gauntlet.
This is an essay in the truest sense, an attempt to wrestle with the implications of the Ogre.

 The Baal Ogres
What ogres might call "resources", like planted fruits, domesticated animals and the like grow richer as you approach New-Santhala, so the ogres are regularly forced to go in and pillage farms for food, especially when the natural food resources the mountain environment provides are scarce.
With these methods, the ogres are able to connect with their fellow ogres in the most self-explanatory and simple ways.
Ogres, and thus also Baal Ogres, are very casual and do not have a sense of modesty when it comes to nudity.

 CYBRZRK3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Worse, the Ogre is using it's ECM to project phantom images of itself in the mountain passes, thus frustrating the defender's efforts to pin it down, and forcing them to spread out to prevent the Ogre from running around them to it's goal.
However, if the Ogre succeeds in eliminating and/or disabling all defending units that it fires at, and there are no other defending units within 4 hexes/8" that have LLOS to the target(s) or the the Ogre itself, then the Ogre remains "unspotted" and the decoy counters remain in place.
On the Ogre's next hex of movement, it enters a forest, which breaks LLOS to the spotting INF, so the Ogre becomes "unspotted" and the Paneuropean player immediately removes the MK III counter and replaces it with the pile of decoy counters, choosing one of them to actually be the Ogre.

 Fizban's Dragonlance Archive
The ogres of Krynn are bloodthirsty, savage brutes.
Ogre tribes make their homes in the grimmest of lands, where the grass is withered and brown, the earth is cracked and dusty, and the waters are foul and stagnant.
Ogres hunt wolverines, wolves, and other woodland creatures for food, but they are also fond of human, elven, and dwarven flesh; kender and gnome meat is considered a delicacy.

 The Ban-Yuk Ogres
Specific ogre territories tend to be in the foothills where most of the vegetation and wildlife reside, though there have been a few reported cases of ogres living high on the mountainside.
Ogres see these small creatures to be their enemies and often fend them off just for coming in contact with them.
Ogres were definitely a dangerous race and though endowed with an established communication system, ogres did not have much more which would make them civilized and ready for integration in Santharian society.

 Ogre Battle 64 for Nintendo 64 Review - Nintendo 64 Ogre Battle 64 Review
Ogre Battle 64 offers a detailed branching story and great depth of customization, both executed brilliantly within the limitations of a 35-meg cartridge.
Building on this somewhat archetypal premise, Ogre Battle 64 spins a complex and involving tale of political intrigue, personal relationships, and battlefield drama using numerous cutscenes and in-game dialogue.
As in the original Ogre Battle, you don't have direct control during combat; instead, you direct the battle by deciding on your unit's formation and issuing commands.

 Iron Ogre (Otherworld, Black Knight/Captain Britain foe)
Captain Britain returns the attack, punching the Ogre in the chest, but it is the superhero who cries out in agony, as his hand impacts on the armour protecting the beast.
Similarly, once the Ogre dies, it falls into a fire and is described as being consumed by the flames.
The Ogre has chains attached between it's wrists, although the length is sufficient that it doesn't impede the creature's fighting skills.

 Optional rules for OGRE and GEV
OGRE treads are not reduced in defensive strength (all attacks still remain at 1:1 odds) but any damage incurred to the treads is doubled.
OGRE weapons which are disabled remain so until the end of the enemy's next combat phase at which time the disabled weapons recover normally and may resume normal operation on the turn after they recover operating capacity.
Once an OGRE leaves the prepared hex, it loses the "Tracks Down" advantage, but it may return to the hex and return to the prepared position by simply moving back into the hex and declaring that it is going "Tracks Down".

 [No title]
Ogres tend to be frightened by outsiders and their natural reaction to fear is to attack.
There are stories and legends of the first ogre ever seen not in the wild, some telling of an ogre carrying the body of a wounded traveler, usually a powerful human or sasquatch warrior, into a city because they felt sorry for the little person.
An ogre makes an excellent addition to any group of travelers or explorers, as they tend to adopt their new group and are very protective of it, as they would be of their family or village, not to mention their ability to carry most of the gear.

When she saw the smooth hands, the girl opened the door; seeing that it was not her mother but the old ogre himself, she ran and hid behind a beam in the ceiling.
When he failed to catch the fox, the old ogre returned to his cave and was very pleased to find that none of the sheep was missing, but he was still angry that the fox had cheated him and escaped.
The old ogre was convinced by the fox's words and forgot his anger in his anxiety to learn the fox's art.

 Ogre Battle 64
Some may argue that the size-restricting nature of the game cart design is to blame, but no matter what the reason, the lack of RPG support has really been a sore spot for Nintendo during the past few years.
Fans of the classic Ogre Battle games on the SNES will feel very at home with this style of play, and newcomers will find it to be a fresh take on the sometimes repetitive Square titles.
And what a treat it is. While the midi-instruments are nothing special or even remotely close to the tunes achieved in the latest Zelda titles, the compositions and arrangements are as timeless and grandiose as ever.

 Ogre (Factor Three; X-Men and Thunderbolts character)
The Ogre placed him in cryogenic suspension and vowed to protect the boy in the hopes of redeeming his role in having exacerbated his powers.
After the Ogre had revealed his origins, Hawkeye offered him (pending a background check to see that he wasn't that "bad of a bad guy,") the opportunity to become their resident engineer.
The Ogre begged him not to neutralize the tesseract (which would deactivate Humus Sapien's stasis chamber), but the Fixer's curiosity forced him to continue, and Humus Sapien was returned to Earth and revived.

In a nutshell: If a GEV fires on an Ogre and moves 4 away, the Ogre cannot kill it next turn, no matter what, if it has lost its missiles and either its main battery or its 3 movement.

They are known as the red ogres, through the thick reddish hair which hangs long and matted on either side of their ugly faces, and forms a mat across their barrelled chests.

Southwestern red ogres are more guttural in their speech than the fl on the mainland, though they can speak rudimentary human language.

OGRE newsletter and I've included some of the commentary on them.
It takes an OGRE ten turns to catch up to the laser tank on level ground and in that time takes twenty points of attacks from an 18 VP unit.
This electronic noise has the same effect on the targeting systems of enemy armor and infantry as an Ogre Ninja's ECM warfare package -that is, all enemy units (including Ogres, but not ones equipped with their own ECM package such as the Ninja) must subtract 1 from the die roll of any attack made:

In this fairy tale, a man goes on a quest for a feather plucked from the body of a terrible ogre who lives in a cave on a mountain and eats every human being he sees.
In his search for the ogre, the man stops four times and promises each of the people he meets to bring them back a feather from the ogre.
When he reaches the ogre’s cave, a beautiful girl, the ogre’s wife, helps him to trick the ogre, so that they may both flee the cave with the desired feathers.

 Tank: Present, Future, Ogre..., by Charles R. Bowles
Seconds after a tactical nuke has blown a hole in the enemy line, an Ogre would be sent through the still-rising mushroom cloud to destroy, disrupt, and disorganize the enemy units immediately behind the front line.
The Ogre would prevent the enemy from organizing an adequate defence of that sector of the line until friendly manned units could arrive, and then it would press hard into the enemy rear area well ahead of friendly manned units.
One interesting theoretical modification of the Ogre would be the Logre, or Light Ogre.

 War of the Draqon Queen preview 4
The Mountain Troll makes a great beater to include in an RPG encounter, as the leader in charge of a tribe of marauding hill giants or ogres that the PCs fight near the end of a mid-level adventure, or as the henchman/thrall of an evil mastermind for characters in their teens.
We figure the Mountain Troll isn't smart enough to realize that he should try to knockdown every round, and he'll be just fine with three attempts, especially at DC 20.
Spring Attack means this Ogre can start five squares from its target, move in to attack (using Melee Reach, of course), then move right back to where it started, likely dealing 30 damage in the process.

In those days, the Cimbri lived in peace west of the great mountains, and Rolgulka was a mostly a wilderness where no one went.
The only thing for certain is that, from that day, none of the ogres or their kin could ever see in the dark any more like they used, and for that we can all be grateful.
