Just think of the tension as you're on the offensive... You really need a conclusive battle against the enemy, but he keeps conducting successful withdrawals. Next battle, you HAVE TO find a way of pressuring or possibly encircling him, wrapping up the flank more heavily... But he has positioned himself in a well fortified position, using rivers and hills to his advantage. If that isn't epic compared to complete annihilation in almost every single battle, then I don't know what is!
The idiot masses who will make up the vast majority of sales don't care for tactics though - all they care for is WOW LOL ZOMG DEAD PPL EVERYWERE EPIC!!!11!
