The Chainmail rules would not be historically accurate for a Blackmoor setting simulation game IMHO.
All indications are that Arneson was already using player abilities with 6 attributes from day one. Something to consider is that there may have been a wounding system in place much like Table T in Strategos.
Dan Boggs really covers a lot of it here:

I think he wrote that before he discovered the Snider Variant. The Snider Variant really dove tails with a lot of what you see in Dan's article. I think it was real quality investigative work and a major find.
