History

The company was started in 1958 by Charles S. Roberts following the success of his wargame Tactics. With Tactics, Roberts created a new type of board game based on actual war-like scenarios and strategies. This sort of game had previously existed (H. G. Wells had written a set of rules called Little Wars), but they had exclusively used miniature figures and modeled 3D terrain (like found in model railroading). 1958 (MCMLVIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Avalon Hill pioneered many of the concepts of modern recreational wargaming. These include elements such as the use of a hexagonal grid (aka hexgrid) overlaid on a flat folding board, zones of control (ZOC), stacking of multiple units at a location, an odds-based combat results table (CRT), terrain effects on movement, troop strength, troop morale, and board games based upon historical events. Complex games could and did have play lasting for days or even weeks, and AH set up a system for people to play games by mail.

Perhaps the most famous and popular wargame Avalon Hill published was Panzerblitz (1970), designed for the company by a young Jim Dunnigan. Dunnigan went on to run what was to become their biggest competitor: Simulations Publications Inc. Other well-regarded games published around this time were The Battle of Midway, Afrika Korps, The Battle of the Bulge, and Blitzkrieg. This last game was more of an abstract training game featuring two sides, red and blue and some neutral countries. Many rule variants were created for Blitzkrieg.

In the 1970s, Avalon Hill branched out from wargames to publish a number of tabletop sports simulations, including the popular Statis Pro line which was based on the names and statistics of actual players. The company discontinued most of these products in the early 1990s as the computer versions of similar games began to emerge. The company also produced a number of strategy games that had nothing to do with sports or war—titles like Point of Law, Shakespeare, TV Wars and Stocks and Bonds, many of which were reprints of games acquired from 3M in 1976.

Avalon Hill became a subsidiary of Monarch Avalon Printing in 1962 (as a way of repaying debts incurred by Roberts), which then ran it for the next 36 years. After some costly legal missteps in 1997 and 1998, Monarch decided to get out of the gaming business, disbanding Avalon Hill in the summer of 1998. Hasbro Games purchased the rights to the Avalon Hill games and back inventory and the name "Avalon Hill" for $6 million. Hasbro now publishes a select number of old Avalon Hill games. Several individual games were licensed to interested publishers. The largest number of the most popular games were licensed to Curt Schilling's Multi-Man Publishing. 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar). ... 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...

Avalon Hill also had its own in-house magazine which promoted sale and play of its games, The General Magazine, which was published regularly between 1964 and 1998. The magazine offered a wide array of features, including strategy and tactics articles, historical analyses, semi-regular features devoted to specific games, columns on sports and computer games by AH, listings of vendors and opponents, question and answers for game rules, ratings for both games and players, discount coupons for mail orders, and insider information on future AH projects. The General Magazine The General Magazine (variously called The Avalon Hill General, Avalon Hills General or simply The General) was first published in 1964, as a bi-monthly periodical devoted to supporting Avalon Hills line of wargames, with articles on game tactics, history, and industry news. ...
