Freedom Five Prerequisites Questions

Hi everyone, new to the forums here. Hope this doesn't get asked too often.

I tried a couple of times to unlock the FF variants to no avail, but looking around I can only find the same bite of text about doing the prerequisite games with very little details over those. So, I have a couple of questions before I go back to run it once more.

1. Do the 3 losing games have to be played one right after the other before attempting the unlock, or can you do one, then play something else etc.=

2. Is Dark Watch Harpy needed in the Dark Watch team game, or is she out?

Welcome to the forums!

Someone should double check me on this because i'm going off of memory:

1. I believe the prerequisite games need to be played in the specified order but that they can have as many games as you like in between them.

2. Harpy is not included in the Dark Watch game because the Oblivaeon expansion wasn't out at the time these variants were released.

The loss with Dark Watch now includes DW Harpy after a patch from over a month ago. 

This is probably the bit I was missing. Thanks!
