That's the first thing I thought of too, but it amounts to adding 
reaction fire to Ogre's lean-n-mean turn sequence.  I'm not a big fan of 
  that.  I think +4 range to target flying grunts, and no terrain bonii, 
should pretty much seal their fate.  Ogre APs with range 5?  GEVs and 
HVY with range 6?  Even lowly infantry can hit them at range 5.  Thats a 
death sentance if the enemy has any reserves whatsoever.
