	Description Edit \| History

From the far reaches in Africa and Asia, ancient armies would mount a howdah on the back of a mighty pachyderm and transform it into a War Elephant! How will Alexander meet this new threat when invading India and meeting King Porus at the Hydaspes river? Why was Hannibal so careful to bring elephants across the treacherous passes of the Alps in the winter? Whose elephants will reign supreme when they clash at Raphia?
Find out in the first Expansion Pack for Ancient Battles Deluxe: Elephants at War.
