Our Expert Score
2nd in Command: Bolt Action is a niche but incredibly useful tool for fans of the Bolt Action tabletop wargame. It’s not a 'game' in the traditional sense, but rather a digital assistant that streamlines the complex book-keeping of World War II miniature gaming. The interface is clean and historically themed, fitting perfectly with the aesthetic of the hobby.
The ability to quickly look up unit stats and manage army lists on the fly is a life-saver during high-intensity matches. It replaces the need to flip through multiple rulebooks, which keeps the game moving. For a tabletop player, this is an essential 'quality of life' improvement that lets you focus on the strategy and the minis rather than the math and the page numbers.

Gameplays
During a match, you can tap on a unit to see their current morale and weapon stats. This is much faster than checking a printed list and keeps your table clutter-free.

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SELF-RESPECTING BOLT ACTION PLAYER
Sun Dec 13 2020 $PAC3FAC3For anyone reading this review weighing the price versus the benefits, let me tell you: ITS WORTH IT. For instance, one bolt action Army book is $30-$35 and one Theater sourcebook is like $20-$30. YOU CAN LITERALLY GET EVERY SINGLE ARMIES BOOK aNd SOURCEBOOK FOR A COUPLE BUCKS. That combined with the fact that the devs are constantly updating the app with new Armies and expansions as Warlord Games releases them. I am an avid tabletop player and jeez this app is a godsend. I think that the price scares away many would-be consumers but give it a chance. If anything, just help out the devs by supporting them - these guys totally deserve it.
Near perfection
Thu Jul 17 2025 RussianBot#4268It’s a few bucks and now your list is 2 taps away. Simple easy to use. I believe it’s missing the ability to check if the list is legal but honestly this is supplemental to the rulebook and that aspect it’s perfect.
Great Support
Wed Dec 10 2025 Jeager112Price is well worth the cost of admission. I also ran into an issue and the developer responded and gave a fix within a day. Very impressed!
Excellent Bolt Action Army Builder

Solid
Sun Jun 06 2021 Rekt.KhaosVery VERY solid list builder. My only gripe is you can't export your list (at least that I've found)
Great list builder!
