Got this today while waiting for the plumbers to replace my water heater. Unfortunately pictures don't convey the enormity of the contents. I had watched several unboxing videos and looked at several photos done by those that received theirs before I did and I still wasn't prepared for just how much was in the game. Enough babble, time for picture. Alons-y!

The box |
 |
And it's almost all OGRE. Not much by way of filler. |
 |
Just the game box occupies a fair portion of my 6-seat dining room table. |
 |
Not that I'm complaining, but I think I was only supposed to get one of these. |
 |
Four packs of counter sheets, those on their own are fairly heavy...or I need to get back into a regular exercise routine. |
 |
Kind of hard to see, but there's a minor puncture in the lid. Didn't go all the way through so the contents were safe. Box did it's job. |
 |
Looks like the bottom of the box got creased in shipping. Guessing it was dropped. |
 |
Minor wear on one of the corner. Overall very little shipping damage. |

Hand signed thank you certificate from Steve Jackson |
 |
The OGRE garage, for storing the assembled 3D counters, with labels |
 |
Map board in the box |
 |
bottom half of the original map |
 |
top of the original map |
 |
under the top set of maps are the books, record sheets, reference sheets and the eight GEV maps |
 |
Rules and sheets |
 |
stack 'o' maps |
 |
To give an idea of the size of one of the map sheets unfolded. |
 |
Look at all the STUFF! |
 |
PanEuro and Combine logo dice. These are pretty good sized dice, no mistaking what was rolled on these bad boys. |
 |
Bottom later of storage, mostly for counters and map overlays (additional pieces to modify the standard maps) |
 |
Tear in the side |
 |
Card board reinforcement for the walls of the tray. I don't recommend taking the bottom layer out, it was a pain getting those inserts to stay where they were supposed to when replacing the tray into the box |
 |
The names of the Kickstarter backers all around the box. Mine is easy to find, this side of the box, very lower left corner, first name on the bottom line. |
 |
The original map and four of the GEV maps. Still have four of the map boards stacked in the background. |
 |
Six of the maps won't fit on the table. I'm going to need a bigger table. |
 |
tape reinforcement on the back side of the map boards |
 |
The GEV maps are four sets of two. They are geomorphic so you can mix and match boards for a large variety of gaming experiences. |
 |
The four counter packs. Not opening them tonight as I don't want them to get scattered. |
 |
armor unit counters (and a couple others) |
 |
some of the 3D counters |
 |
OGREs and Vulcans OH MY! |
 |
terrain overlays |
 |
MORE OGRES! |
 |
Same sheet, same bad photography. This is one of the KS sheets "Targets Go Boom" |
Half tempted to take a couple sheets to work with me to get a start on punching them all out. Probably a sure recipe to lose one or two.
Next update will either be progress on Kyra or a status report on how many counters have been prepared. Until then, enjoy.

Awesome, Sergeant! Wish that I had been able to support this KS, but haven't had much $$$ to do anything this past year. Used to love playing OGRE as a teenager when it first came out as a pocket game.
Funny thing is...I've never played OGRE. Always wanted to though. Jumped on this as I didn't think I'd get the chance again later.
