5.02 only applies to units of the same side - why
would opposing OGREs stack?

5.034 allows for the OGREs never to make physical
contact via ramming, yet would permit an opposing OGRE
to ENTER the hex and then self-destruct.

Just my take, but it seems to make sense. The
attacking OGRE would be subject to full overrun attcks
by the defending OGRE before it could self-destruct,
but once the opposing OGRE enters the hex of the
defending OGRE, the rules do not say a weaponless and
tredless OGRE cannot then self-destruct.
