Se han concocido los resultados de las votaciones de los premios Charles S. Roberts 2012.
Charles Swann Roberts es considerado el creador de los modernos juegos de simulación bélica (wargames) en 1952 con su juego Tactics. En 1954 comenzó a vender su juego desde el pueblo de Avalon (Maryland, USA), llamando a su compañía The Avalon Game Company - lo que años después llegaría a ser la gran marca de juegos Avalon Hill. Continuó diseñando juegos y en 1958 editó el primer juego basado en una batalla histórica: Gettysburg.
Desde 1974, los premios más importantes dentro del mundo de los juegos de guerra (wargames) llevan su nombre: The Charles S. Roberts Awards.
