[Ogre] Flying grunts

[Steve Gray]

I was thinking of something along the lines of never
even using infantry, as well as not adding any more
complication to the rules. Keep it simple.

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you guys play GURPS
Ogre while the rest of us play OGRE Miniatures. I'm
sorry, but there seems to be a reason why they are two
different games to begin with.
