The rules, step by step
Setup
To set up Ogre Objective 218, begin by building your crater card in the play area. Next, remove the cruise missiles and damage Ogre cards from your Ogre setup. Shuffle your unit deck thoroughly, draw a starting hand of five cards, and then choose two cards to place at the bottom of your deck, leaving three cards in your hand to start.
Objective
The main objective of the game is to vie for control of the crater while commanding opposing forces. Players must deploy their units, maintain supply lines, and attack enemy units to clear a path toward the rival command post.
On your turn
During a turn, players draw and play cards based on unit availability and supply lines originating from their command post. Units can be deployed only on supplied areas and the crater itself is excluded. Players then execute attacks using direct or combined target symbols, following strict grid alignment and unit capabilities.
Scoring
Scoring and success are measured through tactical elimination of enemy units and inflicting damage on the Ogre, where destroying enemy assets weakens their defense and advances your position.
Game end
The game concludes when a player successfully occupies the opponent's command post, or when all cards have been drawn and played. The army with the most surviving units wins, with the Ogre counting as two units.
Tips
Effective strategy relies on maintaining unbroken supply chains from your command post to ensure units can deploy and fight. Utilize the Ogre's devastating power and multiple attacks wisely, and exploit special abilities like the Light GEV's lightning strike while keeping your own units protected.
