Great report, thank you! 8)
great pictures.
two points : the Seleucid had more elephants , a third group ?
The seleucid catafracts : they appear for the first time around 200 BCE at the battle of Panion . So I fear they were not there at Raphia as is seems Antiochus III will create that kind of unit after having met them when fighting the Partian guys .

I know for the elephants but it would be better with Maximus version. As for the cataphracts, its interesting, I should reconsider my lists.
The battle of Raphia happened in 217 BCE ...the fully armoured cav is allowed from 204 BCE 8)

You are correct. I'll fix my list for the next refight.
