OK, here's the deal: my 3 member party--

Fanavin) Deep Gnome Illusionist3/Helm14
Frer Thanax) Deep Gnome Battleguard17
Mal Morgant) Human Paladin1/Sorceress19

--are getting their grey, grey, and pink cheeks spanked by the second bunch of orcs in Chapter 1.

My tactic in normal mode was to send out Fanavin as the primary tank. He has no strength, but isn't a fighter; his AC is pretty high (40 unbuffed). Plus he's got Mirror Image, so practically untouchable in normal mode. I'd send him out as a target and then Mal Morgant would cast Fireball/Delayed Fireball/other area spells on the enemies attacking Fanavin, or Thanax would wade in with his greataxe and do some pruning. This strategy worked all the way through normal mode, even in the last battle.

...but it's not working now. Arrrghhh!! How many hit points do these orcs have?? They're taking like 200 points of damage and don't fall down, plus they hit Fanavin nearly every round. Scumbags.

Either my party is overmatched or I'm going to have to change tactics.

Thanks for reading my silly rant.
