According to the manual, there can be at most 3 hits/misses in a row on all Incorporeal stacks, after which the fourth try will be forced to miss (after 3 hits) or hit (after 3 misses). This counter is global (for all stacks), not tied to each stack. However, there appear to be some exceptions. Thanks evilp.

I suppose it's a good thing they took the ability off of Spectral Dragons then. Might have actually made them a threat...

yeah them ghosts are a big pain in the a$% always have my troops rather attack other units and leave the ghosts to my hero's spells or other units with spells that will guarantee a hit just a big waste when you got like 10 titans who can kill 60 ghosts in one shot but there is a chance that they will miss while they could've killed the 30 vampires guaranteed for example

That's what the call-lightning ability is for. With high stats, it may not do as much damage, but it is a magic attack (I think) and is a guaranteed hit.

It also seems that you can use the miss sequence to your advantage. Let's say you had 3 misses in a row. Since the next attack will hit, you wait for a strong stack to go and pound on them. Similarly, if you have 3 hits in a row, you know to use an expendable attack on them.

maybe the algorithm they used doesn't include the biting ability wolves share with the DE's...
