4. Begin Setup

Click Begin Setup to place terrain on the board. If you imported army lists, the Army tab becomes available in the left panel. Click Add to Board next to each unit to place it in the deployment zone.

5. Lock Deployment

When all units are placed, click Lock In Deployment in the right panel. This starts the game clock, enables the tool hotbar at the bottom, and enters the Pre-Game phase for scout moves and infiltrators.

6. Gameplay Loop

Phases progress: Command → Movement → Shooting → Charge → Fight → End Turn. Use the hotbar to select tools. Press F1–F6 to jump directly to a phase.

The app records what happened — it never enforces rules. You can use any tool in any phase. Phase just sets the default tool and records the context for your timeline.

The header bar shows the current phase and a score summary. Click the score in the header (or press O) to open the score flyout, where you can edit primary VP, secondary cards, and objective control.

7. Key Tools

Tool	Hotkey	Description
Select	`S`	Click or box-select units. Shift+click to add/remove. Drag to reposition.
Move	`M`	Drag units to record normal movement. Arrow shows path.
Kill	`K`	Click a unit to mark it as killed. Click again to unkill.
Measure	`D`	Click two points to measure distance in inches.
Range Ring	`R`	Show range circles around a unit at a specified radius.
Line of Sight	`L`	Geometric LOS analysis with terrain occlusion. Shows visibility polygons.
Shoot	`H`	Annotate shooting: pick shooter, weapon, and target. Draws targeting line.
Charge	`G`	Pick the charging unit, roll the 2d6 (enter your dice or roll in-app), then declare targets within reach and drag models into contact.

All tool hotkeys are rebindable in Settings.

8. Save & Load

Press Escape to open the pause menu with Save/Load options. Shortcuts: Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+O to load. The game auto-saves every 2 seconds when changes are detected.

9. Settings

The Settings tab in the left panel provides:

Team colors — pick custom colors for attacker and defender
Keybindings — click a key to rebind, Backspace to clear, Escape to cancel
Streamer mode (F11) — hides all panels for a clean board view
Chromakey — green background for OBS overlay compositing
Opacity sliders — adjust grid, zone, and ring transparency
File locations (desktop only) — configure save and screenshot directories
