Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts — for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders.

Asterix: Asterix and The Big Fight is a thrilling adventure where the Romans persuade a Gaulish chief to challenge Vitalstatistix to single combat. This poses no threat until Getafix is hit by a flying menhir and forgets how to make the magic potion.
