tactical map

Strategic terrain overview

A tactical map displays terrain, positions, and movements for military or strategic planning.

Unlike general maps, tactical maps emphasize features relevant to operations: elevation, cover, enemy locations, friendly forces.

The term extends to strategy games and business contexts where visualizing competitive positions matters: The general studied the tactical map before ordering the advance.
