I had understood that NN would be barred for PC's based on a prior post from UM. Have we seen one there since the revisions where we moved the Fire of the Void to, in fact, NN?
Maybe we just need to have NN barred for sightings, as well?

Needs some help:
Early in a game I'm in I went into the same Fine twice. The first time was just with a General and he got killed, didn't get the artifact. Went back in 2 turns later with a General and P3 (tac 3 and Guard), lost another General, but got the artifact.
This turn, I went into:
Excellent US with Marshal, General and 2 P3's (Guarded attack with both wizards and Tac 2) and lost a General
On the same turn I went into another US:
Fine US with Marshal, Cap 1 and a P3 and P4 (Guarded attached with both wizards and Tac 2) and lost a Marshal
Both US's were identical in description of the encounter, not big deal there (2 fire drakes).
How in 3 US's did I lose 3 Generals and a Marshal? I used the aid and they said that it in cases where I used wizards it was UNLIKELY.
What in the world am I doing wrong????? I'm almost at the point where US' are a hindrance to having a good product game and I don't want to spend the resources looking for them.

Ever played Yahtzee? Well, you rolled four 1's a few times in a row. It happens. Better luck next time.

Use the player aid tool and you will get an idea of your odds. Sometimes going in on a tactic 2 or 3 can actually give you a better survival chance because you can will make sure to get the artifact

Probably just bad luck, if I'm remembering correctly, I witnessed 9 of 9 emissaries burn up in the fire on 50% chance rolls for destroy village/town. UM verified the numbers and then the odds began reverting to the mean.
I sometimes go in with wizards and captains only to avoid these risks.
