Persian list oops

While making up a Persian army (Darius) I noticed the Elephant has its minimum/maximum listed as 1-1. I am guessing this was supposed to be 0-1. As it stands now if you make that list you will have a mandatory elephant in the army, you can't drop it from the list. I have not looked at all the Persian lists yet so not sure if that error is present in other lists as well.

Its correct, you have to have an elephant in that army. Keith

It was just odd to see it listed as 1-1, why not just show it as 1?

So that army is definately for the elephant lovers out there then and thanks for the response.

Generally I'm not fond of the Darius option. The only benefit you get is the elephant, a couple lance armed cavalry (instead of light spear) and in return you lose a number of troop options, specially you lose most the hoplites. Overall the Late Achaemenid is a pretty decent list although it can be hard to figure out how to pull the pieces together. The Bessus version can be a good, almost shooty cavalry army.
