Spin-off of the popular 1970s British sitcom. Get the members of your platoon to certain places on the board. The board itself shows Walmington-on-Sea, which has been occupied by Nazi troops. Players roll a die to collect bombs and landmines before swiping swastika markers off the board and replacing them with British flags to reclaim territory. The aim is to get members of the platoon, including Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson and Corporal Jones, to a safe location while watching out for the enemy. The instructions say: "In war you've not only the Jerry to contend with, but Dad's Army too - and we're not sure which of them is worse!" The game was produced by Denys Fisher in the mid-1970s, at the height of the show's popularity. A retro version waas published in 2021 with new box artwork - perhaps significantly, removing the swastikas which were depicted on the original.
