An alternative way to show war without the use of Stock Footage, but can be used with it. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A real-time computer map is used, showing the positions of military units. In WWII era stories, it might be tiny models on a big map instead. See also: The Big Board, Sensor Suspense, Spreading Disaster Map Graphic. Examples: |

World War II: When the series isn't being presented by Talking Heads narrating by themselves or over Stock Footage, it's maps overlaid with symbols representing the units involved and shifting colored lines of battle as fronts advance and retreat. | |

Battle of Britain showed a command center where personnel (many of them female auxiliaries) had a giant map of Great Britain and the surrounding areas (coastal France, Norway, etc.) using croupier sticks to move counters representing friendly fighters and enemy bombers. Britain's dire situation is clearly illustrated partway into the film when this command center has part of the roof cave in due to a near miss, with the table getting smashed by fallen roof supports. | |

Taken to the ultimate level in WarGames where thousands of nuclear missiles were shown on a giant map traveling across the world and exploding, not once but hundreds of times, as the WOPR computer displayed multiple strategies to try to "win" a nuclear war. | |

Ender's Game has bombers on screen. Command School's simulators would simulate countless battles for which one would have to fight through using whatever "ships" supplied. However the awesome reveal at the end shows that the "simulators" are actually representations of REAL ships and that Ender, by beating the simulators time and again, actually wiped out an alien race during an invasion that he was unknowingly in control of. | |

Speaking of Combat Information Centers, you'll see a lot of this in Battlestar Galactica CIC, mixed with (usually not stock) footage of the actual battle. Bonus points for using both screen displays showing what the ship's sensors are picking up, AND a big table with models giving a low-tech picture. | |

Played with in Air Force Blues, where an AWACS controller offers a visiting fighter pilot the chance to see a Quraci MiG get in a dogfight with a Predator drone... and we see a shot of a very simplistic line rendering on the radar screen with all of the contacts being represented by dots with a short text description. To be fair, the AWACS controller never said it would look cool. | |
