How about using the elephants as scythed chariots, but=retaining the rules for
running amok etc. That seems to reflect how hannib=l was using them. They will
not be key units so do not affect breakpoints,=They will disappear relatively
quickly unless they are successful. They ar= not going to tire out the Roman
first line unduly.

Was Zama actually a battle that could have gone either way? I ha=e always felt
that Scipio did not leave much to chance. Hannibal would noy=have normally, but
this was not the sort of battle plan he usually adopted=. Maybe Zama should be
difficult for Carthage to win?
