"Other than the undeniably stunning chrome in the book, it's hard to find anything in Bolt Action resembling the realities and challenges of WW2 infantry combat."

Keith's Score50 |
"A flavorless experience with no WW2 tactical decision making, driven by meta-gaming and gimmicky mechanics. But it does have value as a gateway game for enticing fantasy and sci-fi gamers into historical wargaming."
