There are tricks to it, as have been described. I am surprised you are unable to get to Rusty Anchor Island. there are multiple locations for this to show up.
1) Scarlet Wind, up the path on the left, in the woods on the right side of the path.
2) Bola, Right near to where you spawn when you get here, down the beach from the Barbarian who lost his wife.
3) Bola, right outside the house of the Barbarian wife. This is the only one that doesn't require either advanced kiting or combat to get two.
Both of the first two are pretty small battles though, and you shouldn't have a hard time with them for the most part. The units you describe are about the best you can generally get that early in the game. How much leadership do you have, and how full are your stacks?
