Non Combatant: An OGRE on the rampage

OGRE has been one of those games I never played. The very idea of a colossal AI driven Tank rolling across the landscape crushing all human defence forces before it struck me as something we should have seen in a movie, or perhaps in an arcade game. Indeed if I were going to play this game I suspect I would position the OGRE in the middle of the hex map and after the human player moves their pieces onto the board from the edge, I would on the OGREs turns move all the human combat pieces to match the OGREs movement while the OGRE remains on that central hex.

It appeared in the 70s so deep down you know this inspired the Terminator films. The Idea of a factory turning out AI Tanks, each more powerful and evolved than the last. And humanity throwing its armoured forces against them in a desperate and feeble attempt to stop them killing the last nests of humanity.

Look at that damn thing... 28 metres long, and a gun battery that could kill an Abrams with a single hit. And now we are headed for a future where idiot regimes (you know who you are) in the northern hemisphere will be building those for real.

As A Dungeon Master, I must admit, this is one of those interdimensional horrors I would unleash on the Average Dungeons & Dragons setting simply because Demogorgon saw one in action and bought the demonstration model.

OGRE: 28HD**************; AC-5;  MV 900' (300'); AT Crush or Ram, 2 Main Guns, 6 Secondary guns, 6 Missile Batteries; DA crush or ram: 20d8/ 2×main: 20d6/ 6×secondary: 10d6/ 6× cruise missiles: 20d6; NA 0(1); SA Fighter L28; ML 12; INT 18; TT (lots of steel for scrap salvage); AL Lawful (obedient to its master program); XP 56,750.

The OGRE is an Artificial Intelligence driven construct from an alternate and distant future Mystara that has been aquired by Demogorgon and dumped onto the Mystaran World to wipe out humanity. Its main Guns have a range of I dont know...lets say any adjacent eight mile hex (if it had sattelite targeting available) but only battlefield memory or line of sight in Mystara (1 mile). Secondary guns are good for same hex combat. Missile batteries... lets say they can strike two hexes (16 miles) out and the OGRE has six of those.
