Just for clarification (as I think I read something to the contrary in another thread - but happy to be told I am wrong).

Am I correct that Elephants with armour only count the armour against shooting, not in melee?
Looking in the rules there doesn't appear to be anything supporting this statement.

However, if Elephants do count their armour in melee, do they do so against other non-armoured elephants (assuming it is not on impact)?

Thanks
Mark

I asked this question when the rules came out and it was confirmed that elephants count armour in melee except against other elephants.

Most helpful - thank you.

In melee against a Heavy Knight or Cataphract, I am assuming that the Armoured elephant will always count as more heavily armoured, as being an Elephant it negates the effect of armour in the melee?
But does an Elephant lose the Armour ability in melee if charged and beaten by an enemy with Ferocious charge? I am assuming that it does, from the way that the Armour rules are written in Page 17.

Cheers
Mark

Yes, by negating armour it will count as better armoured. Nothing gets Furious Charge against elephants.

Kevin is correct.

If I read it correctly, it's not just elephants. You can only furiously charge foot.
