We see things happening in sequence in the game, that's how we're going to envision them, even though in the combat that the game is struggling to emulate, a lot of it is actually happening simultaneously. The goblins aren't charging one by one (hurrah, hurrah); they're coming in a swarming horde, or at least three to five at a time.Whether that makes the scenario less stupid in a given player's eyes is going to vary on both player and circumstance. I think there are times it can come across as stupid, but it's not innately so. But everyone's going to draw their own lines. It's just a price we pay for the system.</blockquote>
