September 17. The Battle of Antietam begins at dawn when Hooker’s Union corps mounts a powerful assault on Lee’s left flank. Repeated Union attacks and equally vicious Confederate counter-attacks sweep back and forth across Miller’s cornfield and the West Woods.

Lt. Gen. Thomas ‘Stonewall’ Jackson’s Confederate forces hold their ground near the Dunker Church. Meanwhile, towards the center of the battlefield, Union assaults against the Sunken Road pierce the Confederate center after a terrible struggle for this key defensive position.

In the afternoon, the third (and final) major assault by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s Ninth Corps pushes over a bullet-strewn stone bridge at Antietam Creek.

Gamemaster: Jeff Jonas Ruleset: Lion Rampant, modified (“Elephant Rampant”) Scale: 28mm Max Players: 6

Elephant Archos (Archos =Leader) is a multi-player elephant ruckus. This scenario is based loosely on events that occured at the battle of Raphia in 217 BC when the armies of the Ptolemaic empire in Egypt clashed with the army of the Seleucid KIng of Syria and parts further east. Large numbers of elephants sparred in front of the opposing armies. Players will each control their squadron of two elephants supported by light troops known as elephant escorts in their goal to pierce the line.

The game uses a modified Lion Rampant system with the rules that were printed in issue 97 of Wargames Soldier and Strategy magazine: 'The perils of Ptolemaic Pachyderms - Elephant Archos' by Jeff Jonas. Models will be provided from these shown at:
