ok so 'im playing the Bactrian campaign and am bulding up an army for an attack against Taksashila where i'll have to face 2 units of Indian elephants...

My question is this... i've tested Indian guild infantry,indian archers and spearmen on custom battles so i know what to expect... elephants though are not avalaible in the custom battle roster...

the only time i've encountered elephants on EB so far was on the second turn of a Makedonia campaign when that Epeiros army stormed Pella... i noticed that a lot of people here keep mentioning how skirmishers can easily kill elephants but frankly that was not my personal experience... all my makedonian skirmishers got to do was throw a voley of javelins against the grey monstrosities then they were chased and stomped around the roads of Pella...

so my question is this: how many units of skirmishers do i have to recruit to make sure those Indian elephants will go down this time??? (i use eastern skirmishers btw due to lower recruitment/upkeep costs ...or do you think i should assign peltasts to this role of elephant hunting???)
