As a writer who frequently goes off-reservation, I'll say that the best way to get a good reception is to make sure your work reflects thought. If you are adding to the established body of material, make sure your work fits. If you are writing something contrary to the established body of material, I strongly advise being certain that your work makes sense if you want a good reception.
Thunder Empire contravenes the established body of material, if one uses the
Mexican Army Order of Battle as a guide. Therefore, I have been obliged to go into some detail about how a whole host of challenges have been met such that a training brigade and a collection of desert municipalities survive into 2001 when so very many other American formations and municipalities with so much more going for them have not survived. In Twilight: 2000, weapons, fuel, food, etc. all come from someplace. Account for them and you should be fine.
