D-Day, designed by Charles S Roberts for Avalon Hill, 1961 -- Credited as the first "hex and chit" wargame, D-Day was published only 17 years after the events of June 6, 1944. My copy of D-Day appears to be the 1962 first revision, aka "1961B." The annual Charles S Roberts awards are named for the pioneering designer and founder of Avalon Hill.
