Yep, the old man of the sea. Bought my first wargame about 1972, at JC Penny's. It was Avalon Hill's "Blitzkreig". I was in junior high school. They still had some of those old-time "squares instead of hexes" games from the 60's in print back then, though, which is how I learned what a great inovation hexes were
The board game thing is probably also why I like games you can mod yourself so much. When the "rules" are printed on paper instead or hard-coded, and the units are cardboard counters instead of 3D animated graphics, anybody can mod any game all they want.
