D&D sure as heck does not need minion rules to be D&D. Remember the person you responded to provided two options.

The first and every time I relayed the experience I was clear that the minions were not ogres. But no, I don't remember the specific...

I'm not sure there is a great approach. Personally I use mobs, but it's mobs of zombies not ogres. I just don't care for the minion...
