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?

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.
