A Tribute to Charles S. Roberts , founder of Avalon Hill
Charles S. Roberts (1930 - August 20, 2010) was a game designer and railroad historian author who founded the wargame company Avalon Hill in 1958. He is widely recognized within the gaming and wargaming community as the "father" of modern board wargaming. He designed his first game Tactics in 1952, to strengthen his qualifications for a planned military career. From 1954 he began distributing and selling the game part-time, from Avalon, Maryland, as a business which four years later took the name Avalon Hill.
