Deployment rep 00 / Pick the ground
Load an 11th Edition mission on a true-scale 60 by 44 inch table, put models down at their real base sizes, and test the opening plan. Check what fits, where each unit can stage, which firing lanes stay open, and what the opponent can see. The live boards below work without an account.
Does the army fit, can the key unit make its move, and where does it become exposed? Each live table below isolates one question so you can get an answer without playing the whole game around it.
Stage the force
Place a sample force with real model counts and base sizes. Then move a unit through the staging area and check the space around terrain, screens, and objectives.
Try: place the sample, then move one unit out of the staging line.
Measure the commitment
The ruler snaps to real base edges. Start on one model, finish on another, and read the distance without converting pixels or trusting a screenshot.
Try: click one base, then another. The ruler is already held.
Test the firing lanes
Turn on line of sight, threat range, or an aura. Move the model and the overlays follow the new position so you can see whether the unit is staged safely or hanging out to dry.
Try: choose Line of Sight in the toolbar, then drag the selected model.
40 Carrot keeps battlefield inches, base millimetres, mission zones, and placed models at the same scale. The gap you leave for a unit here is the gap you will have on the physical table.

A deployment planner is a scaled battlefield where you can choose a mission layout, place your army, measure distances and check firing lanes before a game. 40 Carrot runs that table in your browser.
