1959 here.

This thread brings back a lot of memories. This is the CRT from my first wargame. My parents gave me this for Christmas when I was 13, and I never looked back:

Skyros, I still have Terrible Swift Sword.  What a spectacular game!  (Gettysburg on the regiment level).
 
I think I still have all my AH games except my very first, Blitzkrieg.  Anyone for a game of Richtoffen's War, 1776, Submarine, Here Come the Rebels, Advanced Third Reich, Tobruk, Midway, Panzer Blitz, or any of about fifteen others?

A CRT is a Cathode Ray Tube to an engineer.[:D]

So, NO 1956.

The Antietam game (Gleam of Bayonets) in that series was good too....it's in my game closet along with about 7 others from that series including Terrible Swift Sword.
