I've never had any luck with the Ogres themselves, but my largest DSII
forces are made up of Ogre miniatures.

I use everything pretty much as it is in Ogre -- HVYs become Size 3 MBTs
in
DSII -- with the exception of the GEVs and the Light Tanks.

I use the standard GEVs as APCs, use the LGEVs as scout vehicles (or
tank
killers, for my PE figs), and have converted the GEVPCs into AA and
Light
Artillery carriers using Brigade turrets, some old GW Epic pieces, and
some
plastruct.

...is a picture, crude though it may be.

The PE Light Tanks are wacky looking things, and I have yet to come up
with
a good use for them.  I used them as Counter Battery Radar vehicles for
one
game, whatever that's worth.  The Combine Light Tanks, though, are some
of
my favorites -- lovely tank killers.
