Excellent argument. Good vote: 5 to 4 now, still in Mughal's favor.

Although I doubt that the repeating quality of the winchester would scare the elephant (they were around cannons firing and confronted rows of warriors that fired muskets in unison), Your right in that the weapon could give the Mughal riders themselves the heebee jeebees.

The only way for one elephant panicking to cause another to immediately panic as well is if the lead elephant is wounded considerably, most likely causing it to panic. This would turn the other elephant back. And the nailboard improvised caltrop, I agree, is a majr facor to be considered.

However, I think that victory or defeat rests on the molotov cocktail itself, and if the mahouts get wacked. This, and your caltrop argument, makes a strong case for NOTLDS victory

Though I am not conviced they will win, it is a fair argument, perhaps the best I have found on her for the NOTLDS winning.
