...wait one moment. When I talk about wargames, I rarely mean miniatures. I was playing For the People last night, and there wasn't a miniature anywhere!

Cardboard counters and cards, sure! Minis - not a one!

Here's part of the map:

It's probably still a little too complex, but one nice thing about the game is that you can play shorter scenarios - one year of the war... any year of the war - as well as the full campaign. I'd expect most scenarios to take 1-2 hours depending on which year (1st year shorter, of course). Full game is probably 6 hours.

Cheers!
