Arab Conquest versus Classical Indians

Fanatic foot versus elephants?  This could be nasty, but my Arabs fronted Mark Woods' Indians all the same.

Deployment.
The Arabs were out scouted
 (as BI counts elephants and heavy chariots as mounted when it comes to scouting)

We got off to a slow start.

And things slowly started to develop

But it was still taking time to come to combat

Finally the two armies are in range.

A tremendous charge by the Arabs completely wiped out the Indian foot.

But then it was time for the elephants to even the score

But they didn't.
While they threw many dice, they got very few hits.
Attrited away, only the Indian chariots remain.

    1. It was a shock the first time, but when you did it the next time throwing ten dice, well...

  2. I have a number of those Arab foot figures, from about 1980. So small compared to modern figures. Can you tell me what brand they are?

    1. Tin Soldier predominantly. Some of the skirmishers are possibly Mike's Models or Peter Pig.
