Anti Elephant War Wagons

I have been reading an account of Asculum 279BC. In this battle against Pyrrhus the Romans used oxen drawn war wagons decked out with missile troops, bladed polearms, grapples and burning torches! They didn't really sort the elephants out on this occasion - but they seem like a good idea.
I expect they are too minor a unit to be on the OOB - but still, it would perhaps be an interesting addition as a combined arms skirmishing unit if only to see the TT graphic.
