The CiC should be used in the center with the lower pip die, while the wings should average the higher pips. The idea is to steamroll towards enemy, with 15 RBdF in line supported and screening three elephants packets. The archers can be deployed on the outer wings or intesrpersed with the infantry. High Ag let choose the best formation depending by defender deployment.
