Rules Void?

That's due to poor reading, I'd wager; the primary scale combat system may have trouble dealing with over a thousand or so troops, but that's what the other two scopes are for.

The middle scope (sorry, I can't remember what it's called) is good for armies ranging from 1000 to 100 000.

You need to qualify that:

The bulk of Cry Havoc deals with a miniature/token mass combat system, which scales extremely badly indeed.

One chapter of Cry Havoc deals with an abstract mass combat system that is generally well-regarded.

Cheers!

Icanjucar, I'm just going to note that you're judging a book by its cover, that your concerns don't really apply, and you ought to check it out before dismissing it. You can indeed figure out the themes on your own.

Not sure what "generic rules for D&D with lower magic" would look like. Don't you just, well, have less magic. That's what I do. What rules do you want?

I never said I had made a final judgement, just that so far I, personally, don't care for what you're trying to sell me on. If I see it in a store, I'll figure out my actual opinion then, but since I'm quite capable of making my own low-magic setting and system, I'm more interesting in something that sounds more generic.
