I've had considerable success with more "personal" conflicts where relatively small groups fight desperately over food or water, something like that where the players can make a personal decisions. Like you say, gritty.
Don't get me wrong, there are Slavers, Bikers and other assorted groups, not to mention the occassional Krell war party, so there will be conflict, but the area is also remote enough that it will be difficult for the BBGA to operate, and in a post OOPS environment, most of the area may have reverted back to the great grasslands.
