Thanks chaps! The elephants are really quite heavy.
Andres, yes I've long wanted some Roman ships. I want some small boats that might patrol the Rhine, and perhaps a big grain ship... maybe also a small trireme. Brought my Gobbos down tonight, will try to photograph tomorrow.
These are the Ptolemaic Raphia elephants; mostly based now (no tufts, yet), but no crew.

I have enough additional escorts (not shown) for one more elephant, and think I should add one more as 5 is a bit of a random number, and 6 would enable me to use them un-escorted, in pairs.
I had a bit of good news yesterday; I've got a large table to take an enlarged version of my Thapsus game, to SELWG, on October 13th. This will enable me to take my rules on a new outing. I'll want to get a load more legionaries painted... luckily I have quite a few that Nick painted for me last year, ready to base. I'll also need some more terrain, including some Roman ships...

Yes, needs to be done, Willie!
Of course I also have 6 smaller Africans, from the Zama game, so my current African total is 11. And 2 Indians, and at least 10 dead elephants...

Haven't been to SELWG for years. Maybe I should go along and see your game this year!

Come along and play, Stephen!

African elephants and Cretans are looking great Simon! How many are you using for the Ptolemies at Raphia?
