	An Ogre boxed set? This would be sweet. The Ogre/GEV system is
the
smoothest, quickest, miniatures system ever written. It lacks the great
detail of a DSII, but it's so quick you soon forget the lack of detail
and
lose yourself in the tactics of whatever scenario you're playing at the
time. I wonder if SJG can price a boxed set of that size competitively
against, say, a GW boxed set? Bet they can...
