Against the Ogre Horde (reworked stats)

I guess we all agree the variable Body Points system used in Against the Ogre Horde was a bit odd. I decided to rework Ogre stats but also considering the Elf Quest Pack Ogres. In the original 1992 edition of The Mage of the Mirror they had 10 Body Points which seems being too much. Neither a huge monster like the Frozen Horror has so many! Fortunately with the new 2023 edition of The Mage of the Mirror, Ogre body points were dropped to 5. Someone already tried to revisit the Ogre stats already, but no one was considering to create a version combatible with both expansions (ATOH and MOTM). Also the ogre pictured on the new 2022 version of the card (in MOTM) is looking more like an Ogre Chieftain than an Ogre Warrior: same weapon, same hairstyle. He is missing the chainmail spiked fist but he has a spiked shoulder plate attached with a chain. So much common points for me! Also his stats are more similar to the Ogre Chieftain, with just the exception of a lower defense (4 dice instead of 6).
