A 1983 issue of The General magazine included A Historian's Guide to Avalon Hill Games, an article that rated many of Avalon Hill's classic titles for their historical accuracy. We compare those assessments with the games themselves and consider what they reveal about the design priorities and historical scholarship behind board wargames in the early 1980s.

If you enjoy Avalon Hill games, classic board wargames, or the history of the hobby, there's plenty to discuss here. Which of the historian's conclusions do you agree with—or disagree with? Let us know in the comments.
