It's only early days, I've only fought 2 battles at the start of the High Elf campaign, but I get the feeling I'm really missing something here. The first one was okay, but the second one, just before you get to the first town, went so very wrong. Everyone died apart from one unit of spearmen. Even my leader was killed. I thought this was meant to be a heavily scripted tutorial. Units were one-shotted by enemy units, my attacks did very little to deter them at all.
I read about the attacks of opportunity and am familar with the concept fron D&D 3E games such as NWN, I understand the mechanic of using your movement points in the opponent's turn to counter and do AoO. I've actually played AoW 1 and 2 and don't remember this kind of thing happening. So what's up here? Is there some general concept I'm missing, like going into Dark Souls without blocking or dodging?
