Perzackly. That's why I pretty much never play on Iron Man; it takes away too many options. When "oops, guess that didn't work" means "oh, well, that party's toast" you always have to be in conservative, CYA, attack-only-when-victory-is-assured mode. Learning "what works" inevitably implies at least an occasional learning of what *doesn't* work. My solo Bishop has gotten killed 3 or 4 times already, and I'm only in Arnika; if I didn't have the flexibility to explore the limits--and limitations--of this kind of play, it wouldn't be worth the effort.
