This is pretty much how I've found it.  If my PC's stand and fight 
against numerous opposition they tend to go down in flames. Quite 
often though I am faced with a couple of characters that get 5 cards, 
and just dodge on the two actions the bad guys get.  Rolling high 
values they never get touched, so I started mixing in two types of 
enemy and so had two lots of two cards.  They would never dodge for 
four actions and so would end up picking and choosing when to dodge 
[choosing alternatives like, using tactics would never cross their 
mind :-)], they invariably choose the wrong time to stand still and 
only end up going for cover after they've lost body parts.  

However the great thing about Deadlands is that there is always 
that possibility of getting a second chance ;-)
