GEVs move 4-3, but you probably knew that already.
The Mark IV Raid versus non-ogre defense is broken.
There's been a rules change stealthed in as "erratta" on how GEVs behave
near water, see the SJ erratta site.

	Hi David

	Could you elaborate on how the Mark IV Raid versus non-ogre
defense is broken?  I love the Raid scenario and I'd like to get your
thoughts on this.

	I still don't think the GEV movement from water to land and land
to water is explained very well.  I did a brief scan of the maps and
could not find a 'beach' type hex anywhere.  So are GEVs moving from
water to land and vice versa supposed to treat the change in surface as
if they had come to a stream?

	I went to the site you mentioned and found another significant
change,
Where the Superheavy Tank is D5 instead of D4 and has two Ogre type AP
guns.



Other than that, I know of nothing.  Remarkably stable rules set, Ogre
is.

	I agree, other than those two items, the rule set IS remarkably
stable.

Regards all,
