Tense appears mismatched

Preparation for these simulations was quite extensive. A game staff of as many as 45 people researched and developed the scenarios. The actual play of the war game involved 30 to 35 participants. There are usually four or five simulations per year, with the ideas for scenarios solicited surreptitiously from the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, and major military commands.

If "are" is the correct tense, i.e. the games are still continuing, this paragraph needs to be clarified to indicate this fact. --Slashme (talk) 10:30, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
