BACKGROUND

This 1410 edition of Vanguard is an homage to one of the greatest battles in history: The Battle of Grunwald. As the very pinnacle of the tumultuous Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War, the Battle of Grunwald marked victory for the Polish-Lithuanian alliance, who decisively defeated the Teutonic Knights.

All of the lavish illustrations presented in the game are taken from a digital restoration of Jan Matejko's Battle of Grunwald - a painting which, more so than any other, gives insight into the fury and chaos of the battle.
