Okay... I'm going to raise two points for you to answer before the Gm says anything one way or another. 

1: How effective do you truly believe war elephants are going to be in a mountain pass?

2: How do you expect to feed and look after the elephants as the campaign drags on? After all, this isn't just going to be a single battle, but a drawn out engagement that we are on the defensive of.
