A battle map can be used to explain a battle from history, to create a
background for a story or to play a game. Battle maps are not difficult
to create, but it is important to pay close attention to detail. A
battle map should contain the geography of the location as well as
buildings and possible places of retreat. As much as possible you
should include information about the troops on either side of the
battle.

a key for the map with symbols for various items. For example you

buildings because it will affect the strategy.
