That wouldn't be un-historical. Better Roman Generals, like Scipio, often used the Triarii like a counter-phalanx. So, I would either attack them with the Triarii, or, since you like the old school way, send the Hastati and Principes first to weaken them. I usually call a unit of Hastati back when it is down to under 100.
