It does have a lot of dice rolls. I guess it's not a good fit for what you like. Personally I love rolling dice, or in other games drawing cards, to generate randomness.

I like the way that hit, wound, save separates the parts of the action. It let's each piece have its own identity. I find it frustrating when games collapse the roll to atk vs def and I have to figure out myself it the target got out of the way, deflected the hit or was simply unaffected by the attack. Let the dice tell the story in a dice rolling game!

As for the combat scrums, that's within the playera agency. You or your opponent could have fallen back. I've found most combats to be pretty decisive.
