Descirption: The battle at Legnica was the biggest battle of the Polish knights in the early medieval age. Silesian duke Henry II Pious with his 3000 men army met the 8000 Mongols led by the Ordu. Tactical superiority, discipline and numerical advantage gave Mongols a victory, but players may check if Christian army could win this battle. Additional variant allows to use some of the units that didn’t participate in the battle, but could be used. It’s not an easy battle for the Polish player, but the cunning plan and some war luck may help him to change the history.
