I think there IS a lot of Science Fiction dealing with relatively Low
Tech societies.  The reasons for this are many (and several examples
were given in the original post).  However, I think that if one wants to
have a "medieval horde" attack a "High Tech" squad, one might look into
taking a Medieval set of rules and adding higher tech equipment and
weapons, not vise-verse.  Just a thought.
