'There are Demons invading from the South'

I've been neglecting my Fantasy armies recently. Cataplana has a lot of unpainted figures and unbased chickens, other armies have never even been used...

So a Demon invasion of Catalpana seemed to be a good idea. I've used my usual system of marking moves by quickly growing a forest on the battleground!

Cataplana army includes a Griffin and some chickens as Flyers. The infantry are bulked out with a load of Irregular Landsknecht.Demons mostly Garrison 'conversions' and various (Reaper?) demons.

First move mainly Demon Flyers using their speed to start outflanking the Cataplanans.

As this develops, the Cataplanan Flyers join forces and head to meet the Demon left flank Flyers. Move 3 sees the first casualties and the right flank flyer has run away.

By move 4 the Demon Flyer General has engaged the back of the Cataplanan left- that flank is looking a bit wobbly.

Meanwhile the Demon centre and left are taking casualties.

The position at the end of move 4.

The mercenary pikes formed up to help close off the Cataplanan left as the Demon Beast centre is gradually giving way.

Getting messy as three separate battle develop. The Flyer general and that Flyer that had previously run away but came back are starting to make their marks in the rear of Cataplanan units.

The Demon centre starts to collapse...

Followed by the Riders and remaining Flyer...

New battle lines forming as the Catalaplanans swing round to face the Demon army.

A few more skirmishes...

But it's obvious that the Demon army has lost and it withdraws from the battlefield.
