What I would try is gloss varnish everything (gloss varnish is much harder and protective than matt varnish),
then matt varnish over everything with a vengeance (takes back the gloss),
and then use gloss varnish with a brush (also from Vallejo) only where I want gloss.

It sounds complicated, but it gives the most protection. This is a game board, after all.
Try it on a portion, give the stuff the appropriate drying times in between the steps and see how it is.
A word of warning: I do not have any experience with Water effects, but I don't see any reason not to try what I described above.

I use this method for every painted piece intended for playing.

I finally came across one of the videos I was thinking about on YouTube (For Object Source Lighting effects), this link is actually for part 2 of the tutorial, but it has the majority of the info you are likely looking for... OSL TUTORIAL LINK. Clearly you'll have to adapt some of the specific techniques here, but I think there is some good info to get started.

maj!

Just small bits and pieces. I'll have some time over the easter so I plan on getting stuck in this week.
