Get a new general.
Allow the rear units to be more flexible under the right conditions.
Allow command of individual units to be localized in the event that the master plan and contingency plan falls apart and loss of all communication.
With numerical superiority, the Romans should have had a dynamic plan to deal the changing flow of battle. But of course they developed one later, so you might say that the evolutionary development of military strategy was still in its infancy. Unless you had a commander that could think outside the box, then you were doomed to fail from allowing the enemy to learn your strategy.
Just like the Spartans, unless you have a commander that can change with the battle, don’t fight the enemy to many times, you run the risk of them predicting you plans.
