Some of the COIN games have cool settings, like Cuba Libre. I have to admit that they're a bit too complex for me to justify buying - Root seems like the happy medium for this style of asymmetrical war games
I have a regular board game group who I play some pretty heavy games. We once played On a Distant Plain, the Afghanistan COIN game. By the end of it, the Coalition Forces player and the US player were legit at each other's throats and tearing their hair out.
9.5/10 simulation of Afghanistan 2/10 if you actually want to have fun and retain friends
