  86       <h1>Automated Ogres</h1>
  87       <p>
  88         Set up your defensive forces as desired. The Ogre enters
  89         directly opposite the CP. Each turn, select the Ogre's
  90         available movement points and whether it will ram.
  91       </p>
  92       <h2>Movement</h2>
  93       <p>
  94         The Ogre first moves towards the CP ("north"), then if it
  95         destroys it, retreats back to the side it started on ("south")
  96         to escape off that edge of the map. If the Ogre is on the
  97         final three rows of the map, or less than five hexes from the
  98         CP, "ahead" refers to the shortest path directly to the goal.
  99         Otherwise, it refers to the edge.
 100       </p>
 101       <p>
 102         While moving, the Ogre may decide to ram. If it does, a
 103         potential ram overrides other movement commands. It also rams
 104         any vehicle in its direct path. The Ogre always re-rams a
 105         disabled vehicle in the same space.
 106       </p>
 107       <p>
 108         The Ogre never moves backward, except when it decides to ram
 109         backwards. If the Ogre is adjacent to an immobile unit (e.g. a
 110         howitzer or CP) it will always ram it.
 111       </p>
 112       <p>
 113         If multiple ramming targets are possible, choose the first in
 114         the direction of the sensor sweep.
 115       </p>
 116       <p>
 117         If the Ogre tries to move into a crater or off the edge of the
 118         map, choose the first space available in the direction of the
 119         sensor sweep.
 120       </p>
 121       <h2>Attacks</h2>
 122       <p>
 123         The Ogre always fires AP, then secondary, primary, then
 124         (maybe, if possible) missiles. Targeting order is determined
 125         by explicit targeting instructions - target priority may go to
 126       </p>
 127         direction of the sensor sweep.
 128       </p>
 129       <h2>Priority</h2>
 130       <p>
 131         The Ogre will always prefer to target CPs, howitzers, and disabled
 132         units (in that order). Otherwise, target priority is determined
 133         randomly as nearest, farthest, strongest (highest defense) or most
 134         threatening (highest attack).
 135       </p>
 136       <p>
 137         Priority is also given an arc (fore or aft). All possible
 138         targets in the chosen arc are considered before the other arc.
 139         Units on the same line as the Ogre are in both arcs.
 140       </p>
 141       <p>
 142         Finally, priority has a sensor sweep direction - clockwise or
 143         anti-clockwise. This determines the order of targets with the
 144         same combat statistics, distance, and in the same arc.
 145       </p>

 147       <h2>Suggestions</h2>
 148       <ul>
 149         <li>Once you find the game too easy, move your CP forward.</li>
 150       </ul>
 151       <h2>Further Reading</h2>
 152       <p>
 153         These solitaire play rules are based on
 154         <a target=_blank href="http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/articles/uncertain.html">
 155           Brian McCue's <em>The Uncertainty Principle</em></a>
 156         as well as <em>Solitaire Ogre</em> by George Collins in
 157         <em><a target=_blank href="http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/products/ogrebook/">
 158           The Ogre Book</a></em>. It expands on the
 159         card system suggested by McCue but hews closer to the tactics
 160         suggested by Collins.
