My only concern is that battle can sometimes be very decisive, this can be a good thing because large games can be resolved fairly quickly which I like. This game was played for 2.5 hrs and would've been resolved in 3 hrs if my opponent didn't have to leave early. Yet on a few occasions one unit was wiped out in one turn. I think I am going to use large units more often so that some units have longer staying power. The description of the battle is in the picture captions:
