Yes, I must admit I love that aspect.  It lets me slip my Starguard
nations in among my DS2 nations and blended everything in my Cotu
campaign almost seamlessly under FT, DS2 and using Starguard instead of
Stargrunt...

Agreed that they made it all possible.	But we had Science Fiction war
games before some of those appeared, just not as rich a selection.  The
detritus comment was that the vast selection of incompatible formats
with
no common melding framework always kept me on the fringe because I never
knew what might be 'canon' in any group and hated the idea of buying,
painting, and mounting only to move and find my figures were not those
used in the next city.

You don't have to be French to be a 'frog', or even human!
Nektons - Real Marines! (Die, Ralnai, Die!)
Starguard, Dirtside 2,	Ratner's Space Marines, Stellar Conflicts
and Uprisings, and Full Thrust/2nd.  Resistance is everything!
