Clash of Giants: Civil War.  Rules read just need to put the map under the plexiglass and play.  Simple rules.  Not sure how I'll like some of the abstractions like artillery.

I have it, and while the arty rules do seem strange at first, it does sorta work. For a pretty simple game system, its actually quite good fun to play.

Thanks, Bob.  Good to hear you found it to be an enjoyable play experience.

School me: Is the reason for using plexiglass to cover paper maps so they stay put/don't get damaged? Or is there another reason?

It also keeps them flat so the creases don't complicate LOS.

Keeps em in place. Keeps em safe. That's pretty much it.

I think of that as part of keeping them in place.

Ok, makes sense. The way I avoid that problem now is having a map printed on board via a service like Print & Play.
