Most of the big fights happen off screen because there simply isn't the cash to do epic LOTR style battles. The money they have is better spent on set design, authenticity. I think they've done a fantastic job.
Yes, they just don't have the budget to show all that much.

I don't know if you've seen the show Rome, but they had to do something similar with all the wars/battles in that time period due to costs (and there were a lot). It certainly never had anything like the Battle of the Blackwater, though.
