This should then be the opposite when attacking from the front. High lethality won't do any good if you can't land a hit anyway.
I hope this post is comprehensible, I'm a bit tired :P
Hmmm...

So units with high lethality (ie. those crazy 2-handed swordsmen) = bad against units with high defense skill (ie. Gaesatate)
especially since high lethality usually goes with AP bonuses, and Gaesatate wear no armor anyways...

High lethality + AP bonus = good against units with higher armor, but lower defense (post-Marian cohorts)
