I build my army as follows (basic LA, Very Hard setting):

Aux Cav
double Auxilia
triple Archers
triple Principes

By the time of this battle you should have all those troops, maybe with some swords and armor. The key is to get your Auxilia in the Rough terrain asap, where they stand chance even against heaviest of troops. Make a deffensive ring of your heavy troops with cavalry as a back up. Hold your missilers behind this ring and once the Principes are hit by the wave, try to cross the map with Archers into Rough terrain, where Auxilias can defend them. Cover the holes with cavalry.

Some pin cushions are useful too. They eat a number of arrows and can stop the enemy aprroach for several important seconds, so you get with your light troops to safety.

Was that helpful?
