Different Tactics

I DM 1st edition, tho am totally open to any good idea. Not sure about 5th edition stuff, but there is certainly a fair amount of 3.5 in our world.
That noted, the party is a druid, a magic user, a cleric, a ranger/druid (who has decided to really be a druid) and a ninja. We are creating the ninja as we go, based mostly on how I DMed the four ninja guys at the bottom of the Vault of the Dragon Kings.
We just had our first real full frontal assault and did not do so well. The players failed to realise that we do not have the same type of muscle we used to when there were more straight out fighting guys on hand.
Party levels are 6 - 9.
Out of curiosity, would there be any spells you would recommend to help balance an attack?
I am thinking a large scale battle is inevitable. Who does not salivate in remembering the dining hall of the hill giants (G1). Such an attack would waste us entirely now.
I am looking to have a sit down at the start of next session to point to things like the value of audible glammer, blink, mirror image and other such bits of magic that would help balance a strategic attack.
Any thots?
