Really there is nothing surprising here, and heroism wouldn't even be necessary. This is just a basic tactical exercise.
163 cavalry defending in trees, where their defense ability is cut by 50%. Cavalry is weak against spearmen anyway, so their total defense power probably amounted to about 1550.
Attacked by 80 orcish spearmen and some infantry, whose attack ability is increased 50% by the forest. Total attack power something close to 3050.
Heroism may have helped, but in this fight I would have expected Jill to win with about 50% casualties without commander bonuses. Actual casualties were 43%. Cavalry should never be left in a forest square because killing them there is about as hard as killing a pack of NPC wolves.

Bowmen hate it - and even cavalry units have difficulty moving purposefully to attack forested terrain. This is, however, the natural provenance of the footsoldier who excels. Suffering the same problems as attackers, defending cavalry and ranged units intensely dislike fighting in forested lands. Like the attackers, however, the extra cover and confined spaces is favourite amongst defending swordsmen. | Attackers: | Unit: | Quantity: | Casualties: | Survivors: |

Two opposing forces clash against each other. Cavalry comes into its own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions - and nowhere is this more feasible than on open plains. Lightly armoured spear units, however, prefer terrain where there's some cover available. Fighting defensively on open plains, cavalry draws strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where cavalry excels. | Attackers: | Unit: | Quantity: | Casualties: | Survivors: |

This one is awesome!
Bowmen in trees by the legendary "The_Dude"
I can only assume then that Amroth went to the same school as The_Dude for military tactics.
More victories on a silver platter please!

Two opposing forces clash against each other. Heavily wooded terrain spells difficulty for ranged units and cavalry. Infantry units find they have a large advantage here. Like the attackers, these thick forests do not provide much assistance for anyone except your footsoldiers, who take great pleasure in the extra cover afforded to them. | Attackers: | Unit: | Quantity: | Casualties: | Survivors: |
