Hi,

I am a bit puzzled about the number of EL bases for Alex (up to 4) and Pyrrhic (up to 2).
If 4 is correct for Alex then it seems to me 2 is rather low for Pyrrhic and if
2 is correct for Pyrrhic, then 4 for Alex  seems too high.
Thx for your clarification.

Pyrrhus had about 20 elephants.  Alexander ruled parts of India with access to hundreds of elephants  Alexander had at least 60 elephants (admittedly he hadn't used them in battle) before meeting Porus and he captured the surviving elephants (out of 285) after Hydaspes.

So I fail to understand the comment.  The argument might be should Alexander be allowed Elephants at all - as he didn't use them in any major battle.

Thx for the clarification, I was mislead by the remark in the Alex list stating 15 El were captured after Gaugamela and didn't noticed El are only allowed from 326 BCE.
.  This also gave me the (false) impression 1 El model represented minimum 4 pachyderms (as in the old DBM)....
