Strategix

Command Briefing

Strategix — Advanced Tactical Simulator is a map-based tactical simulation sandbox. Build opposing forces, assign missions and objectives, and observe how units move, detect threats, and engage across the map.

Choose a Scenario Preset for a quick start, or build your own engagement in Custom Sandbox.

Quick Start

1. Choose a Scenario Preset and select Load Preset, or start with Custom Sandbox.

2. Review unit positions and objectives.

3. Press Execute to begin.

4. Use Cease Fire to pause, reposition units, or change the plan.

Victory: Eliminate the opposing force or capture your assigned objective.

Build a Custom Battle

For each side:

1. Select Friendly or Hostile under Operational Side.

2. Select a unit from the asset list.

3. Choose its Tactical Task and Posture.

4. Select Deploy Unit, then click the map to place it.

5. Select Set Objective, then click the desired objective location.

For a meaningful engagement, place opposing forces roughly 5–20 km apart and position each objective near the opposing force.

Tactical Tasks

Advance to Objective — Moves toward the objective and engages threats encountered along the way.

Defend / Engage — Holds position and prioritizes nearby threats.

Screen / Recon — Moves toward enemy activity to locate and establish contact.

Hold Position — Remains in place and engages targets within range.

Withdraw — Moves back toward the unit's original deployment area.

Posture

Cautious — Slower, more restrained movement and engagement.

Normal — Balanced behavior; recommended for most units.

Aggressive — Faster movement and more active engagement with greater risk.

Unit Roles

Armor — Strong in direct combat and open terrain.

Mechanized Infantry — Flexible frontline combat support.

Mortars / Artillery — Long-range indirect fire; deploy behind frontline units.

Recon / UAVs — Locate threats and screen approaches.

Air Defense — Protects friendly forces from aircraft.

Aircraft — Fast-moving and effective, but vulnerable to air defense.

Naval Units — Operate in open water; keep ground formations on land.

Terrain

Ground units generally avoid water and favor roads and passable terrain. Allow the map to fully load before starting for the best routing behavior.

Controls

Deploy Unit — Place the selected unit on the map.

Set Objective — Assign an objective location.

Execute / Cease Fire — Start or pause the simulation.

Undo Previous — Remove the most recent placement or objective.

Wipe Data — Reset the scenario.

Route Toggle (⌁) — Show or hide planned routes.

Map + / − — Zoom in or out.

Tips

For the best experience, use a desktop or laptop in full-screen mode. Build balanced forces, use terrain deliberately, and experiment with different tasks and postures.

Run scenarios multiple times. The simulator is most useful for comparing how different force compositions, objectives, and tactical settings affect the outcome.
