It is not just you. I had forgotten how much of a massive tactical abrrier the River and the clifs can be for even matched troops. Sandy and I played it a few weeks ago and duked it out to a stalemate at the Ford -- though only because I lucked into getting the Puppeteer Troupe to attack his northern flank. I fortuitously allied the Grazers the turn after he routed my southern Sartarites (damn ducks), attacked his rear, and killed all but one of his magical units. It was a glorious barbarian victory as the lunies sued for peace, which only sullied by the fact that Jar-Eel killed Harrek.
