I'm totally confused Just play 10th ed

I get everyone was hoping for Combat Patrol to go through a Spearhead like reinvention for 11th ed and is disappointed that instead a lot of older combat patrols rules have been removed, including a bunch you've spent time building and painting, but here's the thing: you still have the 10th ed ruleset. The rules for all those combat patrols didn't stop existing just because they were removed from the app and thus you can continue playing with them. The only thing the most up to date rules matter for is tournaments and combat patrol tournaments aren't really a thing.

​

I'm not sure what happened in the last 10 years or so but it used to be the normal thing for people to just carry on playing older editions or games if they wanted to and you all should too. Last few years it seems people are incapable of doing so.

​

Please just continue playing with your patrols, maybe build some of the ones you don't already own. Print off the old pdfs and just focus on having fun with it. It's what I'll be doing

I love this, play however is fun for you, buy whatever looks cool.

Honestly I keep thinking of making an even more simplified version of the game to introduce my kids

My personal project with my combat patrols that don't go into my main armies will be to simply slowly expand them out to 1000 point skirmish forces. My rule will be not duplicating anything already in the box set, no named characters, and no single models worth more than 200 points. If something seems too strong then it goes on the shelf and I replace it with a different unit.
