As a note - there are almost no nominees in the computer games categories. You can add a nominee as a write-in, and after that it becomes check-able for future voters.
Because of this, the lists above are not 100% accurate anymore.
Plus, if you follow the link, the lists themselves are hyperlinked to the games' pages.
Voted!
I see President Obama even mentioned the CSR awards... :P

Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword got onto the list of PC game nominations...
^ Uff-da.
seems like there are way too many nominations to sort through
and that I have a lot a lot a lot of playing to do to catch up
does anyone screen nominations?
Update to the Charlies (http://charlesrobertsawards.com/results.php?theYear=2011)
They've listed the top 5 vote-getters in each category, except the HoF and Design Elegance awards.
And Warfare Affair made the cutoff - w00t!
Thanks to everyone who voted :)
Results are out

The GMT mafia rolled over the Analysis category with Mark Herman taking the win. When you're a name as big as his, you pretty much get whatever award you want, eh?
Still, it was cool to make the top 5 and make the nomination list :)
Am not surprised at some winners however congratulations to all despite what maybe some politicking for ballots.
This catagory makes not sense what so ever.
Best Pre-20th Century Era Computer Wargame
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leipzig - John Tiller Software
Mount&Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars
Mount&Blade: With Fire & Sword
•Shogun 2 Total War
Shogun 2 Total War : Fall of the Samurai
Mount and Blade is a great game, but I would never consider it a historical simulation. Nor Shogun 2 for that matter. And frankly if it's a "wargame" award then how could anything other than Leipzig win? Its the only true IMHO wargame on that entire list.
Who the hell is Charles Vasey to rant and rage against Brant now?

over the GMT mafia comment?
Those links seem not to work.
Can you repost what he said? I'm curious. I like Charles, and we both write for Battles, and I respect his opinions. I hope he's not taking my GMT Mafia comment too seriously. I have a bunch of friends in the GMT Mafia! Plus, they make really good games :)
(reminder to self: go finish reviewing FAB Sicily this weekend)
(another reminder to self: still need to pick up Leaping Lemmings at Gamer's Armory)
GMT makes some absolutely beautiful games.
I know you used to design games, Brant. Which one of your games was a nominee?
none of the games - I was nominated for an article (series) I wrote for Battles Magazine called "Warfare Affair"
sadly, the Charlies seem to have died at this point
we reached out to possibly help with re-invigorating them, but no one seemed interested in our help.
