I find alot of the encounters pretty hard as well. I feel like I have have to open up with the hardest hitting broadside I can muster up, because once the enemies get thier turn, at least one of my guys goes down.

The ground aoe spam is a bit tedious as well. I have also noticed that my team misses...alot. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

But having every fight, a desperate fight to survive drains my fun a little.
