During the Second Punic War, Hannibal famously led an army of war elephants across the Alps, although many of them perished in the harsh conditions. The surviving elephants were successfully used in the battle of Trebia, where they panicked the Roman cavalry and Gallic allies. A mid eastern style event, Midnight at the Oasis incorporates scenarios involving war elephants with combat archers, crossing a narrow mountain pass followed by crossing the Trebia River, culminating at a Keep Battle.
