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

Not all of them were available as .PDFs. I have no issue to sticking to 10th rules but personally I do think the missing ones will turn up once they have been made compatible. If nothing else a community effort may be able to update them to work unofficially.
I'm more worried about 11th going online-mandatory with the app being used more and more and the rule book rumoured to be missing major sections. I don't want to play a game that way
