Not sure who said it originally but I remember hearing something about Heroscape being about 20% skill - 80% luck for beginners, 50-50 for average players, and 80-20 for experienced players.
The goal is to put yourself into the best position to win (knowing the map is a key part of that) and let the dice work themselves out. Sometimes you make a really good play and the dice fail you, but there are other times a dumb play can be a good one if the dice fall in your favor.
