I was wondering there were any cases during the Crusades in the Holy Land that the Saracens used War Elephants against the Franks? |

If only they had used just one, even just once! Then every Saracen army on every table for every war game game would have had one!! A pity… |

I think I'll start a Crusades era Saracen army just so I can purposely field TWO war elephants (cuz that's how many I have) just to thumb my nose at the naysayers! I don't recall there being any either--but it could have slipped my mind… |

Or the invasion of Spain and Portugal centuries earlier! (and the failed attempt at France – thank you Charles Martel!) |

Maybe they did a "reverse Semiramis" and disguised their elephants as camels…?? |
