I can't send you any replays as I don't save them in 1.3 as they don't work. I don't think I have any in 1.2 either.
The general trick with eles is to keep them well back and away from archers until you make a move (or your opponent makes a move). Once I'm moving them in, I generally don't stop moving them. In engaging them, they are best sent into the side of pinned infantry (your infantry won't hold very long, so you have to time it reasonably well). As long as you keep double clicking on the next infantry, you keep them moving, one elephant will rout an entire line of infantry. With the 2 eles setup with Numidia, I use 1 elephant on either flank and send the camels into the cavalry. The eles move and flank or just attack the enemy cavalry after the infantry has routed, which pretty much routs the enemy cavalry as well. I may though send 1 ele with the camels into the cavalry, while the other routs the infantry, as one will suffice. If cavalry is on both flanks, then I mirror their setups with camels, and make sure the eles get into the infantry, which is where the game is inevitably won.
