One might get away with blank boxes, especially with sloped-outwards

and the 'map' giving details.

I'd think that would be one thing at which the 'map' could excel; the
troops 'walk' over a certain area, and, with a simple
keystroke/mouseclick,
the area, simple plowed fields, becomes exploded mines.

Not sure I'd like seeing the 'map' on the back of my hand as I'm moving
figs, mind you.
