Position your anti elephant force at the other side of the elephants, at the back.

Your elephant wielding enemy (if they make up much of their power) is likely not relying much on ranged, and probably little on magic artillery.

This implies, you may want most of your forces as far back as possible, to give you time to work.

Cluster a bit near the middle, so that even if his elephants are flanking, they will pull towards the middle regardless.

Set all units to Hold+Attack Large Monsters, or Fire Monsters, and queue up your anti-ele spells (they will throw down some buffs if you start out of range, not the worst thing).

If your army is designed for anti-ele duty, this setup should give optimal results unless a specific tactic requires you to start very close to the elephants, which is usually not advisable.
