All of this is true, but who in their right mind would keep sending the same "meat" to the front from the very beginning if there are plenty of ranged units available? Unless they're a suicidal psychopath:smile13:
Why not? In battles with neutral creatures, it's actually quite effective to send "meat" units forward. With a bit of skill, it's quite easy to do. The AI will always attack the nearest unit if it's the only one within range, especially if it's an attacking unit and a weak one. Usually, "meat" units fit these parameters very well.
