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.

Not him, but...

1. I'd say extremely effective, actually maybe a little too effective. We are talking about a pass with two large bodies on both side with only one path making a choke point. Just charge forward(or whatever elephants do) and stomp everything in a straight line. The other troops staying back, but covering flanks.

2. The same way we keep the rest of our troops fed. With none of us mentioning it too much and assuming we all have proper rations.
