MOSCOW - September 14, 2009 - Leading Eastern and Central European publisher, 1C Company, announced today the development of the first title in a new series of strategy games to be released under the Real Warfare label - Real Warfare: 1242.

Russia during the XIII century was a huge state, much larger than any other European country. Split by internal conflicts, and yet standing strong against numerous outer threats, it was attacked by the infamous Mongol Horde. They came suddenly and pierced through the country like a blazing arrow. The native people fought valiantly, led by a fierce warrior and prince, Prince Alexander Nevsky.
