Many old "skool" players are those who think this sucks most. They are players who played mostly strategic part of the game. Battlemaster used to Strategic game with RP flavours, slowly it has turned other way around. Roleplaying game with strategic flavours. I dont say its bad thing, but unexpected "outside the rules" coming event doesnt fit well for those who are focusing strategic parts of game.
There is no perfect strategy that survives unmolested by the unexpected unplanned gremlins in the gears. It is a true test of your ability to still achieve your objectives in a highly unstable hostile environment. Which is what a
truly strategic game must attempt to simulate.
