Not only is the Pub Battles game design different, the packaging is unique as well. It comes in a tube so the Canvass map can be rolled and unrolled. The map lays fairly flat unrolled right out of the box, and a quick counter roll guarantees it lays quite flat. Taking it out and putting it away is quite easy as well, but here is the way I found it goes smoothest:
I'll start with putting it away. First stand the tube on end. Then lay out the map and place the rules and charts on top of it and roll it a little smaller than the circumference of the tube. When it's all rolled up you grasp it in the center with your whole hand and with the other you pinch the end (As shown).
This keeps the map from unrolling as you slide it in place. When you let go it unrolls to fill the tube. I grabbed a couple of Zip-loc bags and filled one with the British and one with the Colonials and the dice. Those and the measuring sticks fit nicely in the tube. Voila!
To remove, I took and lightly sanded the inside rim. There is a little ridge that the map can catch on. You certainly don't need to do this, but it does make for easily sliding the map out.
