Getafix has run out of ingredients to make his magic potion. The seven main ingredients are kept in secure locations. The others are randomly scattered around Gaul. The player must collect all of the ingredients and return with them to Getafix.

A map of Gaul is divided into 82 territories, 81 of which are inhabited by a single Roman platoon. Instead of utilizing weapons of steel to fight the enemy forces the Galic troops use magic potion. The player begins with one single territory in which lies a force of 20 units. Before each turn Getafix is supplies the Gallic troops with a further 10 units of magic potion, however these reinforcements may only be added to territories under Gallic control.
