Yes, if you try to just go toe-to-toe with them early in the game without a strategy, you're likely to get smoked. What worked for me was to open the battle with several hold/charm spells, one summon spell, and have the other players start gunning for the mage. I charmed the thief (whose backstab can do serious damage), put the summoned creature in front of the dwarf, put my warriors on orcslicer, and then had my magic users take down the mage after the initial hits on him in the opening round. Worked like a charm...

I'd say getting a charm or hold spell to catch in the opening round is critical to swinging the odds. Hope this helps.
