Finally an update! I'm sorry it took so long but I have to spend a lot of time working for my study. I'm glad I can finally announce the Battle Demo! The demo only allows to play single battles, the campaign is far from playable.
Download the demo here
A quick explanation of gameplay:
First you have a menu where you can set up a battle. I recommend to choose a scenario and start playing as either the defender or attacker, but you can also set up your own battle. When you start playing you first have to deploy your units. You can select the unitcards and click on the grids to place your units or simple select Auto to let the computer deploy your units. You can change to deployment if you want.
When you press Ready the battle begins. First select targets for your missile units. You can change targets by dragging a line from a unit towards a new target with the right mousebutton. While pressing Shift you see all missile units that can reach the target you're hovering at that moment. Click with the left mousebutton to assign that target to all those units. A very useful function.
You can move one unit every turn by dragging it to a new cell with the left mousebutton. When a unit borders an enemyunit it will attack.

I really hope you'll like the demo. The AI is not as smart as I want it to be but I'm going to work on the campaign for a while now. Please report any suggestions/bugs etc so I can fix them when I start working on the Battles again.

Thanks! It's good to hear my biggest (only?) fan is satisfied ;) About the archers, have you tried pressing Shift and clicking? Then all archers in range will attack that enemyunit.
By the way, To all readers, could you please drop a comment on the GMC topic to get some publicity?
