of the last decade, are fairly idealized since they completely lack the cosmological context. Hence orbits are also idealized, being disconnected with the epoch of fall inside the host and with the shape of its gravitational potential, which is just assumed to be spherically symmetric. Instead, cosmological simulations show that the host is triaxial and grows substantially in mass and radius over the last ten billion years ([@2007ApJ...667..859D]), which implies satellites can be accreted on increasingly wider orbits over time. Furthermore, in the idealized simulations subhalos can only interact with the main host, and not between them. Also, for simplicity these simulations have always explored a fixed or limited mass range for the satellites, rather than considering the wide range of masses from those of actual subhalos. It is expected that, the initial mass, and also the stellar mass relative to that of the halo, ought to have an important effect on the response of the system to tidal shocks. Furthermore, other studies have shown that mergers or strong interactions, while rare, can occur among dwarf galaxies just before infall, turning them into dwarf spheroidals very quickly ([@2011ApJ...740L..24K]), but leaving it completely open to identify the distinct signature of a
