Kn(F) were clobbered by 3.1 amendments so I would only use 4. The 3.1 amendments also mean in 25mm you must have a strategy to deal with PK as it is now very effective and therefore widely used. With this Army the Wb(S) gives you a 50/50 chance against the Pk and with Art and Bd support (plus the couple of Kn(X) loitering) this can tip the balance in your favour. The Artillery are also very useful to keep the Elephants away from the Wb and means you can force your opponent to Attack by advancing into range and starting a bombardment! I took the Ax(S) with supports (and split into two commands) so that (together with my Wb) I had a a good counter for massed Wb Armies. I could manoeuvre to get ALL the Ax and Wb onto just one of my opponents Wb commands.
