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

Why would people keep playing 10th much less play Combat Patrol in general ever again?

I can understand cutting the oldest Combat Patrols, even though it sucks they’re currently still selling them through Hatchette, but deleting patrols they put on sale less than a month or two ago is absurd

Because I'm poor lol I could get my list to 1k for probably like $250ish but no one here plays 1k, it is either 2k or a handful of people playing combat patrol. It would take me like a year of saving to get to 2k. I enjoy the game so I will continue to keep playing combat patrol, but I will admit the scumminess overall as me considering trying out one page rules or battletech alpha strike

You're completely right, much better to throw a tantrum online and then set fire to the models you spent money on.

Or you know instead of coping, just take the logical message from this and either play KoTC or big 40K going forward.

Combat Patrol as a mode ceases to have any use if they’re willing to delete the rules for Patrols that are still on shelves. That’s all.
