Certainly, it will.

Such rules, while interesting, would not fill a whole e23 product on their own. What do you reckon the minimum size for one of those is?

Collegio Januari is only 13 pages including the title page, ToC, and index. I think a product on PCs in low-tech armies could be that long easily. More, if you include some historical material to help GMs imagine plausible armies for their campaigns.

In my current campaign, the heroes are barbarian skirmishers in King Tagi's army, so the regular rules are sufficient. Even if they got into a large battle, they aren't powerful enough to take on a whole phalanx of decadent lowlanders by themselves!
