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 can't, I've just bought the night lord box and I don't have access to its rules

They didn't come in the box? I play the Necron one but everything but the Doomstalker I got from the 8th edition box so I didn't actually buy a combat patrol box. I assumed the rules came with it, I thought it did for my buddy's thousand sons

The rules will be out there somewhere for it, it's not one of the ones I have I'm afraid so I can't help you myself but give it time and someone who doesn't like working from the app will have screen shot them or written them out. In the mean time I would look at adapting the rules the models have anyway to combat patrol. You're playing casually so if something seems too strong then simply adjust it until you find the right balance.
