thank you, that's how I understood it.
Should a unit test its cohesion each time it is charged by an elephant or only the first time?

The Terror test is only taken once for each cause. Once the troops have overcome their Terror, they can function normally. Cheers W.

if a unit of cavalry that has passed its terror test receives the new rule "evade the elefants" and can now evade a frontal elephant charge.

can a cavalry unit used to elephants evade an elephant charge?

Cavalry that are "use to elephants" are not required to take a the terror test. They may evade if charged by an elephant. Cheers W.

The rules states:
- Terror has to be test only one time for each reason,
- Cavalry which pass its terror test has to evade an elephant charge.
So, does a cavalry unit has to evade a second elephant charge against it considering it not have to check a second time for terror ?

The evade is an option once the test is passed. The cavalry may stand instead and I have seen cataphracts do so and drive off the elephant.
