One thing we want is solvency and continually released ships. If Ares can expand sales and customer base with periodic ahistorical offerings, so be it. In most of the games I have run, once the game begins, people do not seem very concerned about history as much as beating the other side. Only in the beginning when laying out the scenario does history seem to play a part in the event. I realize I have not played much with AoS aficionados, but my prospective audience leans heavily toward general gamers. I will use anything that gets them to the table.
