The Charles S. Roberts Awards (or CSR Awards) are given annually for excellence in the historical wargaming hobby. It is named after Charles S. Roberts the "Father of Wargaming" who founded Avalon Hill. The award is informally called a "Charlie" and officially called a "Charles S. Roberts Award".
Prior to 2000, the awards were given at the Origins Game Fair, and Charles Roberts Awards prior to 1987 are also considered to be Origins Awards. Since 2000, the awards have been given at the World Boardgaming Championships (formerly "AvalonCon").
The Awards also include a Hall of Fame. The Charles Roberts Awards Hall of Fame recognizes game designers and producers that have made a significant and long lasting contribution to the contemporary board wargaming hobby.
The 2006 winners were announced during ConSimWorld Expo 2007, which was held in Tempe, Arizona June 5-10, 2007.[1] The winners as listed on the ConsimWorld site. ConSimWorld Expo 2008 is scheduled for May 27-June 1.[2]
