This is one of the key gameplay facets of Wesnoth: managing luck. This means different units are susceptible to luck to different degrees. Of course, units have different numbers of strikes. A unit with four attacks has four chances to hit, not just one, and so it is generally reasonably unlikely that they will either miss all four times, or hit all four times. The main luck limiting factor is the way in which units have multiple strikes in a battle. Quote In Wesnoth, there is a substantial, but not huge amount of luck. (nevermind that it was a fan campaign that then made it into the canon because of its quality, but how cool is that)

Plus it has a tough-as-inals campaign about elves trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic desert, Mad Max-style. Sure, it's still slightly rough in some places (I do think that the graphics are ever so so slightly disjointed and the interface is a tad too menu-driven), but it's definitely very mature and all-around great. So it took me a while to actually fully understand the game's ideas+mechanics+'thing' (outside of Heroes of Might and Magic, I was never a huge fan of hex-based turn-based strategy games), but now that I did, I think it's an absolutely amazing game, especially for that price (of nothing at all).

It's also on Steam Greenlight if you're into that. Sounds good for a game developed almost entirely by fans, for free, for almost as long as Dwarf Fortress, no?
