I got to play 3 different games with my ogres this past weekend. I don't have time for details, but I'll try to put up some highlights.
------------
Game 1
------------
500 pts Warband vs Orc and goblins
I had 3 bulls w/champ, 3 iron guts, 2 Ironguts, 2 leadbelchers (approx, no list with me).
He had 10 orcs, 10 orcs with orc hero, 15 goblins, orc chariot, 3 trolls.
********
This game was fun, by the end of it I had killed all of his models and only lost the 2 leadbelchers and one bull. The lesson I learned from this game vs O&G is that our fear actually can make a difference. He failed 3 fear tests during the game. I hate Trolls and a unit of 3 bulls cannot take on a unit of 3 trolls. However the Ironguts had a much easier time fo them.
Lastly the 2 leadbelchers stand and shot at a charging chariot and were only able to put one wound on it. I thought they might do another but unfortunately it wasn't to happen. Lesson learned.

Game 2
-----------
1000 pt OK vs Dwarves
(approx)
Bruiser
Butcher
3 Leadbelchers
3 Iron guts (banner)
3 bulls, AHW
3 bulls, lt armor, IF
15 warriors
15 warriors (Great weapon)
10 thunderers
10 thunderers
2 bolt throwers
organ gun.
***********
For playing against dwarves, I was able to get a HUGE amount of magic off, he rolled a lot of 1's. First turn I ran my leadbelchers as fast I could and was able to shoot a unit of thunderers which he put RIGHT on the 12" line. I was able to kill 6 which was very nice at blunting some of his shooting. I had one unit of bulls(LA/IF) with butcher face off against his HW/Shield warriors, the IG with bruiser went after the front of the other warriors with the 3 AHW bulls sprinting around to get to their flank.
Even though I was able to get trollguts on my IG, he focused all his shooting on that unit an was able to put 7 wounds on it (missed with both bolt throwers). He had backed his HW/Sh dwarved out of my charge range, same with his other warriors, so i had no charges turn two. I decided to move my leadbelchers up about 2 incehs infront of his organ gun on the hill trying to bait him into shooting them.
On his turn he attempted to charge my Bulls w/butcher, but failed the fear test (because of the skullmantle). This turn he shot everything at my leadbelchers wiping them out, but leaving all my other unit unharmed. (I had been able to get the +1 T spell on them so it was harder than it should have been)
My turn I charged and it pretty much ended the game. 3 bulls w/butcher into warriors, they have bullgorger so are able to take his 3+ save to a 5+ while using the extra attacks fromt he IFs. I killed just enough to cause a push. The IG banner and bruiser charged the front while the AHW bulls charge the flank of the other warrior unit. They hit hard and decimate the warriors. My bruiser took a wound back from the dwarf hero but with the negation of ranks, flank, flank bull charge and all else he needed snake-eyes to stay since he was beaten and outnumbered by a fear causing enemy. He ran, paniced a bolt thrower, and I ran into his unit of thunderers that were at full strength. The rest of the battle was cleanup. All my units were engaged he had nothing to shoot. We called it. I lost my leadbelchers (I'm guessing a theme), and some ironguts. My butcher had also put 2 wounds on himself.
