Anyone else use McAfee?   Cuz the Siteadvisor lists MJ12games.com as a potential security risk.

"McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution." is what the report lists, but doesnt give any reasons.  On the report, I see no complaints, all downloads they tested are good, and all links to other sites are good. 

What gives?

Finally got my copy of Wardogs, Im completely psyched.  Before I bought the game, I had wanted to do a Gear Krieg conversion, but as I read the book, one word kept popping up in the back of my mind.

........Starcraft.......

Has anyone attempted this before? 
The only hang up I can possibly see is the Zerg.  Being organic creatures, they might present a few problems.  Mechanically, everything seems like it would work like normal (they still have thermal sigs, armor is just innate toughness/health, etc.) but a lot of Zerg units are melee attackers.  Has anyone experimented with infantry melee?
Since infantry are pretty much at a 1 hex range anyway, is there really any difference?
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions about this?
Is anyone even interested?  8-)

wow....I was introduced to that game about ten years ago, and you're the only other person Ive ever heard reference it since.  I thought it had fallen off everybodys radar, if it ever was on peoples radar to begin with.

I'll ponder that while assembling my resources for TWERPS (a side project I've been meaning to do)...

TWERPS?  As in Reindeer Games TWERPS?  The Worlds Easiest Roleplaying System?

I have just discovered that every link on the page sends me to the same 404 screen. 
Info you requested:  running IE 7, red Xs referred to are the picture place holders, no background on page, just white text, every link says not found.   

Im not a real IT guy, so I couldnt even begin to give any theories.  Just chalk it up to inferior computing devices for now smile

It gave me the same error a few weeks ago when I tried to get the demo rules.   
Im on a work computer that Im convinced was created in the paleolithic era, so that might be the problem.

Why I get a 404 error whenever I try to add Wardogs to my cart?  Is it only available in PDF right now?

Hey guys, new to MJ12.  I just got Starmada, gonna pick up  Ares, and I would like a nice sci fi ground game to round out the collection.  Question is, what exactly is the difference between Wardogs and Defiance.  I get the vibe that Defiance is more W40K, and Wardogs is more Battletech?   Is there any difference between the two aside from mechs?

I would like to try out a Wardog conversion of Gear Krieg.  can this game accomodate that type of setting?  Or is it pretty much only for far future genres?   

Thanks
