Ignore Variol; he's forgotten what it's like to be inexperienced.
Modern weapons: bows are better. I'd suggest switching from modern weapons to bows. Your mage can use a sling, which is much better than darts.
You seem to be gearing up for a lot of melee combat. I always liked to use ranged weapons (and spells, of course) as much as possible before closing with the enemy.
But I'd like to know what went wrong with your other party; it looked like a solid group.
