The Courier, a Wargaming magazine has an interesting time-line of the war-gaming hobby. The time-line starts at 1890 with a mention of a Thoe. Svensen of having played with paper soldiers and firing cannons as a child, and ends with an entries of “Beginning of The Third Age of Wargaming” and “The Age of the Glossy Magazine”, in 1979. There are plenty of hyperlinks to some vintage sources within the text that are well worth a visit.
