I definitely recommend my strategy, then.  Have Valerie move up to L8 after that myrmidon occupying it goes down, and we can focus fire on the mercenary and then have Maribelle grant extra actions to Claire and Aurich to move the front line forward again.  With the bonuses from Charisma and the triangle advantage, there should be some pretty hefty losses from the enemy reinforcements trying to take them out.<br/><br/>Edit: Yep. ^^ That sounds about right.
