Yea, I know. Where do you think Battle Tech got it from? Games like Panzerblitz, Squad Leader/Advanced Squad Leader and others...all of which were created in the 50's and 60's.
BattleTech appeared in 1984. So...yea.
And I played some of the 60's Civil War games from Avalon Hill (Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, and one other that escapes me) when I was probably 10-13, somewhere in there.
Was also playing the first Mechwarrior PC game at that time. Polygon block mechs lol. Gotta love it.
