Have you read the rules for it? Have you tried it? Dune's five types of conflict utilize the same mechanics, relying on abstract "Assets" and the various things you can do with them to enable one set of rules for widely varying scales of conflict.

Dueling, a central story elements from the books and movies, is one of those five and, by far, the most complicated of them.
