Sorry, GraaEminense.
I'm sure you are forgiven, not quite sure for what though?

Regarding the flaming pigs, I've always considered it an event that was tried once at Megara. Can't have been terribly effective if it wasn't used regularly, and there's no mention of it in later times while war elephants kept on being used in the region.
On a side note, Caesar's most important tool to defeat elephants in the civil war was another elephant: keeping it in camp so the soldiers got used to the huge animal.
