It would be almost impossible to defend, with Pyrrhos' army being a lot superior, but defending is always easier against RTW AI anyway.
I was thinking of that battle also because I think it would be the first battle in EB timeframe, but when I read the description about the Spartan defense, in Plutarch life on Pyrrhus, with wagons, trenches, etc I tought it would be hard to represent.

You know that Xanthippus may have been present during the battle? Seeing the elephants used by Pyrrhus, he learned the techniques that he would later used against Rome.
