I began wargaming in the early 70s, not too long before the "Monster Game" mania drove we young-uns to our own room in the game club to play this thing called D&D. The history of the hobby is so ephemeral, and I've written a bit professionally about it as an academic. In regard to this post, the "character sheet" did seem to arise from those old simulations; half the fun of Avalon Hill's still-excellent Midway was the hit sheets for each fleet.
