As Caesar you will defend a system of ramparts, forts and awesome fortifications with 152 units representing legion cohorts, leaders, archers, Balearic slingers, Germanic cavalry, Numidian Lt. Infantry, and missile engines. As Vercingetorix you will assault the Roman besiegers with 210 infantry and cavalry units from 46 Gallic tribes.

IN 51 B.C. Vercingetorix led 80,000 starving Gauls from the besieged dity of Alesia and threw them against the surrounding Roman fortifications in concert with attacks from without by a relieving force a quarter of a million strong. What followed sealed the fate of Gaul. Can you succeed where he failed?

Julius Caesar with ten tested Legions maintained an investmetn of a force larger than his own while fending off a relieving force 250,000 strong. Outnumbered 6-1, defending a tactical "doughnut" against a simultaneously expanding center and contractind perimeter, Caesar accomplished a feat which astounds historians to this day.

CAESAR recreates on a large 28" x 33", full-color mapboard, the epic battle of Alesia, unique in antiquity and all of recorded warfare, in highly playable classic form in a game as exciting as the battle itself.
