EvilNed,

You can find the same (as in SimaqianStudio)  description of Legnitz on our  site in the subforum Military History ( link ). Juniorgeneral is wargaming site and optional scenerios presented there (battle 1, battle2) have nothing to do with real historical battle which are shortly described in historical background chapter..

I acctually read in one source that the Poles were doing very well but then the mongols used some kinda of gas, and I think one soldier thought he heard Henryk yell for retreat which confused the Poles and messed them all up...disorganizing them and making them easy targets for mongols

I was always under the impression that the Polish were completly and utterly destroyed at the battle of Liegnitz and that they offered little resistance towards the Mongols. However, I came upon two sites offering completly different stories from the battle. Both of them claim that the polish actually fared pretty well (we all know they did better than the Hungarians), but one of them seems to suggest that the poles even did an extraordinary work at Liegnitz. Now, this site is mostly just filled with historical inaccuracies (it even claims that Duke Henry made it out of the battle alive) but, is there anyone here that can tell me what resistance the poles DID offer at Liegnitz? Were they utterly beaten or did they actually put up a tough resistance towards the mongols/tatars?

Site #1: (Seems to be the more accurate site)

Site #2: (Seems to be pieced together by a student, or so)
