Draw a strat
Create a strat on the strat board, place players, utility, arrows and text with the tools on the left, and save it for the whole team.
The strat board is a map you can put players and utility on and draw over. Create a strat, draw it, save it — it stays on your team's strat board for everyone to open.
Create one
- Open “Strat board” and click “New strat”.
- Give it a name and pick the map and side. Opponent and tags are optional.
- Click “Create and open”.
The map is fixed once the strat is created. Name, side, opponent and tags can be changed any time in the panel on the right.
Put things on the map
The tools sit on the left, top to bottom:
- Select / move: click to select, drag to move. Drag empty space to pan the map.
- Add CT player, Add T player: pick the tool, then click the map to drop a player; keep clicking to add more. Double-click a player to rename, right-click to switch side.
- Smoke Grenade, Flashbang, Molotov, HE Grenade: pick one and click where it lands.
- Arrow, Freehand line: press and drag to draw.
- Text: click a spot, type, press
Enter. Double-click existing text to edit it. - Color: the color of arrows, lines and text.
Below those are undo, redo, delete selected, “Clear board”, and zoom in, zoom out and reset view. The mouse wheel zooms too, and double-clicking empty space resets the view.
On maps with two levels, an “Upper” / “Lower” button appears at the top right to switch the map layer.
Save, duplicate, export
- Save: click “Save” at the top right. While there are changes you haven't saved, “Unsaved” shows next to it.
- Duplicate: click “Duplicate” to get a new strat with the same content, opened right away — handy for a variation of an existing strat.
- Export an image: click “PNG” to download the current board as an image, with the strat name, map and date in the bottom-left corner.

Common cases
“Save” is greyed out Guests can look at strats but can't create, edit or duplicate them. That needs the player role or above — see Roles and permissions.
Deleting a strat In the strat board list, hover the strat and click “Delete” in its top-right corner. Only the person who created it and admins can delete, and it can't be undone.
Too many strats to find one Above the list you can search by name, opponent or tag, and filter by map and side.
