Reception

[edit]

Don Turnbull reviewed Operation Ogre for White Dwarf #17, and rated it a 5 out of 10.[2] Turnbull commented: "the module itself isn't all that bad. Deliberately limited in scope so that eight teams could 'run' through it individually, with a maximum of four hours playing time each, it is built for speed and is a blood-and-guts dungeon in style rather than belonging to the problem-solving, more intellectually demanding type".[2]
