Why GrimSlate Is Different
Every other battle tracker is a separate app. GrimSlate is the only one where your army and your game live in the same place.
Integrated with Your Army Builder
Your rosters are already in GrimSlate. One click from your list to a live game — no exports, no imports, no friction. No other tracker can do this.
Works on Any Device, No Download
Open your browser, go to grimslate.com/game, and you're ready. Works on your phone, tablet, or laptop. No App Store, no Play Store, no installation.
Real-Time Multiplayer
Share a 6-character join code with your opponent. Both players connect on their own device and VP/CP sync instantly — no one has to shout scores across the table.
Completely Free
No subscription, no paywall, no premium tier. Every feature — chess clock, secondaries, multiplayer, full mission deck — is free for every player.
From List to Live Game in 60 Seconds
No setup friction. Your roster is already here.
Build your army
Use GrimSlate to build your 2000-point roster as usual. All your lists are ready to play.
Start a game
Hit 'Play a Game' from your roster, pick your mission settings, and share a 6-character code with your opponent.
Track in real-time
Score VP, spend CP, advance rounds, and watch the chess clock — all synced between devices as you play.
Everything You Need to Track a Game
Built for 10th Edition scoring — VP per round, CP regeneration, the full mission deck, and the chess clock.
Victory Points — Round by Round
Score VP at the end of each battle round. The tracker shows a running total and a per-round breakdown so you can spot exactly when the game shifted.
Command Points with Auto-Gain
Track CP spent and recovered. Auto-increments +1 CP at the start of each Command phase so you can't accidentally forget the regeneration rule.
Secondary Missions
Each player picks two secondary missions at setup. Track them independently per round with checkboxes — public or hidden from your opponent until scoring.
Chess Clock
Optional chess clock with configurable total time (default 2h30m). The clock counts down only on your turn. Perfect for competitive practice and tournaments.
Full Mission Deck
All 10th Edition deployment zones, primary missions, mission rules, and gambits — randomisable or manually selected. Asymmetric missions supported.
Both Players' Datasheets in One Game
During a multiplayer game, both players can view each other's unit datasheets and army composition directly from the tracker — no need to swap phones.
How GrimSlate Compares
Tabletop Battles is the tournament standard, but it requires a phone app and is separate from your army builder. GrimSlate is the only web-based tracker that needs no import.
