Battle Group A (foot) is fighting BG B (foot) directly to front. BG B has friendly elephants counting as overlap in the combat.

Does the cohesion test mod for losing close combat vs elephants apply if BG A has to test for losing the fighting against B & the elephants? Dead. argued no, since A is not fighting the elephants. I argued yes, since the elephants caused hits in combat.

The answer is...???

Beat me to the posting of that very query... you said I should post the question. Sneaky Romans always trying to grab the glory from the Selucids.

ah...brain and eyes are sore, but thought since i was at keyboard...wasn't trying to beat you to the scribble

Yes, they count as losing close combat versus elephants.
