Try hiding two Aux Inf and both archers in the woods, beside the stream, to counter ambush the Thracian heavies. I just tried it now (on VH) and only had one unit rout, due to bad timing. 375 killed for loss of only 37.

Velites and Hvy Inf in line almost half way from the woods to the back line;
Aux & Arch hiding in the woods for counter ambush
Peasants feinting in the left-centre and then out to the far left and back, to pull his archers wide of the main battle.

Just ran this again on VH and won with 10-12 second left, only 30 casualties other than one peasant unit that didn't quite stay out of trouble.
