MapUML is a text-based syntax for rendering interactive tactical diagrams.

Syntax Example:

title Sloviansk Direction
regions Donetsk, Luhansk

attacker 3rd Motor Rifle
defender 54th Brigade
settlement Zakytne

ru advance Zakytne -> Kryva Luka -> NE
ua note "Ambush" at Kryva Luka

Available Commands:

• title [Name] - Sets the UI title
• regions [Names] - Optional comma-separated region constraint
• attacker|defender|settlement [Name] - Spawns entity. Supports * fuzzy matching
• [ru|ua] advance [A]->[B]->[Dir] - Draws dashed advance line and arrow
• [ru|ua] note "Text" at [A] - Places colored annotation at entity

Tips:

• If a name can't be resolved, inject manual coordinates: [Alias: lat, lon]
• In Edit Mode with Settlements enabled, click any settlement on the map and press Pick Location to pin the exact coordinates into the script — useful when auto-resolution picks the wrong settlement.

Convert the following military situation report into a MapUML script. Rules: 1. Start with `title [Direction Name]` and `regions [comma-separated region names]`. 2. Group forces and axes into `operation "Name" { ... }` blocks. 3. Inside operations use: - `attacker [Unit]` / `defender [Unit]` — one per line, use `*` to wildcard long names - `settlement [Name]` — key towns referenced in advances - `ru advance A -> B -> C` / `ua advance A -> B` — movement tracks, can use compass directions (N, NE, SW…) as final node - `ru note "Text" at [Location]` / `ua note "Text" at [Location]` — short tactical annotations 4. Separate force groupings (order of battle) from axis groupings. 5. Keep unit names concise. Omit filler words. 6. Output ONLY the MapUML script — no explanation. Example output structure: title Borova & Lyman Directions regions Kupiansk, Borova, Lyman, Siversk operation "Russian Forces (GW West)" { attacker 1st Tank Army attacker 20th Combined Arms Army attacker 25th Combined Arms Army attacker 2nd Motor Rifle Division* note "Mobilized reserve + assault units widely used" at 20th Combined Arms Army } operation "Borova Axis" { settlement Kruhliakivka settlement Borova ru advance Kruhliakivka -> Borova -> NE ru note "Pushing to seize Borova" at Borova } Situation report: [PASTE TEXT HERE]
