Warlord: Escape from Colditz, 75th Anniv. Edition
An impregnable fortress. An inescapable prison. Until now…
This is the 75th Anniversary Edition, and is the definitive edition of the iconic game by Pat Reid & Brian Degas with illustrations by Peter Dennis.
Major Pat Reid, OBE, was a British Army officer and prisoner of war during World War II that was held in the infamous Colditz Castle. It was a Nazi prison designated for troublesome enemy combatants. He is one of the few prisoners who managed to escape. Major Reid worked closely with Brian Degas – a script writer and producer, best known for his work on BBC’s iconic Colditz series – to recreate the tension and daring of Major Reid’s escape, making Escape from Colditz a household name.
Seventy-five years ago, Major Reid braved barbed wire, searchlights, and armed guards to Escape from Colditz. Now it’s your turn to do the same.
