In the second real-time strategy game in the War Diary series, the player fights against Saladin's troops near 1091 AD Jerusalem and conquers back the enemy occupied cities.

There is not much of a plot in this game, just a bunch of mostly independent rescue/conquer missions that were glued to the game during the last two weeks of production. Most of the time the player moves the icon representing his troops on the main map in real-time. When encountering an enemy squad or a city occupied by the enemy, the game goes into a turn-based battle screen where the units attack alternately.

The game also runs on a low end Series 40 phone (210KBs of heap, 64KB JAR limit, 128x128 screen) with no features dropped, but with simpler graphics. [source:mobygames]
