Oh yeah. I've seen both of those happen to often to be coincidence. I saw a group of experienced (70%) PCs in good armor and with magic get wasted by a handful of trollkin (30%) simply because the PCs decided to exchange missile fire against targets with three-quarter cover, while standing out in full view. The heroes managed to take out one trollkin and inflict multiple arrow wounds to a house before being wiped out.
