Customers who pre-purchased
Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades also received the previous game in the series,
Real Warfare: 1242, for free. It offers various tactical battles, but doesn't have the strategic mode available in RW2.
They are playing it right now and we received a number of questions regarding best tactics in a given mission, so we published the new article describing one of the possble tactical solutions for the second battle of
Real Warfare: 1242 - Skirmish with Mongols. It is available in the Articles section on the
game website ('Tactics sample').
