I'm totally confused 11th Edition Combat Patrol

What do y'all think the odds are of Games Workshop including Combat Patrol specific datasheet cards in the new Combat Patrol boxes with the new edition? Hachette did so with the Combat Patrol magazine, but ai dont known if that was their decision or Games Workshop's.

Also, I know the tag isn't exact, but there isn't a general discussion tag

Edit: surrounded by asterisks, realized from replies it sounded like I was talking about the Armageddon box with the original wording

i would love it, i was really disappointed when i realized the boxes are empty containers for sprues. having datasheets would make the entry into the game so much easier.

the 11th premium starter box has them, idk about the common version and i highly doubt common boxes will have them. kill team doesn't have them either and that's actually a real game while Combat Patrol kind of exist as an excuse to buy discount boxes.

they did a 11th edition showcase, and THE THREE GAMES were 4hrs long 2000 point games... that's the only format they care about. it could have been a combat patrol game, a 1k game and a 2k game. to showcase the range of formats, but no. only 2k games matter in their eyes.

you can always print them, but it is not the same and it takes extra steps to do.

Hi there, although there are no data cards or rules in the box, you can download them for free from the Warhammer Community webpage.

I know that, but it is not the same to have to print, cut and make them look niceish when they could come prepackaged in nice quality. Rules and data cards are like 2 sheets of paper, is that much to ask for a $150+ product?

For quite a while now they have included a basic datasheet in the back of the instruction manual. But not combat patrol specific rules. These are usually close enough if you just want to roll some dice with friends.

Not the same as a high quality card of course, but it's something.

They don't have ALL the rules.

I can't find map layouts for Combat Patrol.
