Re: Dirtside2 15mm game from ECC 8

As the OGRE player, I will categorically state that the defense force
did 
a commendable job.  In my defense, I lost my main battery to a IAVR boom

chit. :(  And then there were the 4 tanks and the ICV with DFFGs...
ouch.

Grant's "unmalliable Civet" certainly intimidated Mr. Smiley, who
computed 
that there was no value in continuing to ram into an uncrushable object,

and moved on.

While my Mk III clearly lost, it was a truly fun game!
