TacMap
A mobile browser tool for tabletop wargames. It turns a phone photo of the board into a calibrated top-down map, so movement, range, and blast measurements can be planned faster and with less guesswork.

Measuring is too hard
Tabletop miniature wargames are played on boards covered in obstacles — walls, ruins, barricades. Each turn, a player has to work out exactly how far their model can move and where it can legally end up.
Doing this with a tape measure by eye is slow, error-prone and can feel super fiddley. You also give away your plans to your opponent who can see you measuring.
Tac map helps you plan your turn digitally
Where can I move?
Plan a single or multiple smaller movements.
How far can I shoot?
Determine if enemy operatives are in range of your weapons.
Can I hit multiple enemies?
Optimise AOE moves and make sure you catch as many enemies in their blast radius.
How it works
Small printed scannable codes placed at known points around the board’s edges let the app recognize where the board is, how it’s rotated, and its true scale.
The app corrects the photo into a flat, top-down view of the board, as if photographed from directly above. This also allows any distances to be calculated correctly.
What’s next
Add multi level support so users can calculate movement when climbing up obstacles.
