Charles S. Roberts AwardHall of Fame

 

Charles S. Roberts, in whose name this award is given, invented the modern wargame industry virtually single-handedly. As a designer and original owner-operator of Avalon Hill, he was responsible for the creation of the first modern wargame, including many of the developments, such as the Combat Results Table (CRT), which were later to become commonplace. When the debts of Roberts' fledgling company mounted, he sold the operation to one of his most serious creditors, his printer, Monarch, who continued operating the company until selling it to the toy and game conglomerate, Hasbro in 1998. Roberts himself designed the following groundbreaking games (given in order of publication), several of which have become known as "the Avalon Hill Classics":
