Space Gamer 74

The Space Gamer #74 (June 1985). Ground combat units of the year 2085: Ogre, GEV, and infantry in Battlesuit, plus a heavy tank in the background (Pat Zircher artwork) 

Reminisvcent of Winch Chung's early concept art and size comparison sketches - This is one of the earliest side views that clearly shows the Ogre’s separate track units. (Winchell Chung, The Space Gamer No 13, Sept/Oct 1977 - republished in The OGRE Book, 2nd edition, pg11)

which was updated in 2017 for different OGRE Models in OGREzine 1, pg2

Space Gamer 59 - Batttlesuit

Happy New Year! Its been awhile since I posted here so I thought to start a series of posts featuring classic OGRE/GEV related art. All works will be appropriately credited where possible. 

The Space Gamer #59 (January 1983) included the complete Battlesuit game with David Martin’s artwork. Sadly my original copy was lost many years ago.
