Thanks! This is *exactly* the kind of background info I asked for
earlier
- a background which explains why low-tech warriors would be pitted
against high-tech ones.

Even so, people armed with spears or bows are *dead* against WWII
weaponry in a set-piece battle - in a guerilla war, OTOH, they can do
reasonably well. I really don't think DSII is the rule system to use
here
- and if the background says the serfs are sent against high-tech forces
(rather than the high-tech forces being used to attack and massacre the
serfs), then we're bashing the background's authors rather than the
player who tries to use DSII in this setting.
