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

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