Was this a holdover from the wargames they used to play before they decided to make it into warriors and axemen?

Yes. The specific rules they ripped off were from a battleship combat game, because a dude with a sword is basically the same as a boat.

Could you write an interesting game where at the end you have to lose without it feeling like... Fallout 3's original ending?

I always liked Phantasy Star 2's ending, which had a 'spit in the face of certain defeat' ending that really stood out from the other JRPGs of the time.
