Okay, here's a wacky idea...probably *too* wacky, but what the heck? 
Give 
Ogres and such a limited number of hull points.  Say...a dozen or so. 
Do 
attacks as normal, but for each point that exceeds the Orgre's armor it 
suffers one hull point worth of damage.  And a boom does an automatic
five, 
or something like that.  I wouldn't want to combine this with the
modular 
rules -- I'd just design a honkin' big tank and assign it however many
hull 
points sounded right.
