	Combat Patrol creates a number of interesting situations for almost every army to take advantage of. Armies with existing infiltrators can take advantage of the rules to get them into position, and the lack of heavier armor, flyers, and ordnance means a lot of units that otherwise would be too risky or lopsided to choose could be extremely handy in and of themselves. Units with higher mobility (bikes, jetbikes, cavalry, etc) can get a lot of mileage as well because of the game rules encouraging you to be aggressive and quick. Because of this, it's a game mode that's hard not to find at least some affection for.		Combat Patrol creates a number of interesting situations for almost every army to take advantage of.

Because of this, it's a game mode that's hard not to find at least some affection for. Play it a few times with friends and virtually all involved will come away with stories of their army's trials and trifles and stuff that you just wouldn't see in larger games.

	Unlike Kill Team, however, the rules for the game, for the most part, still hold up to this day. Combat Patrol is thus definitely worth your time and a great way to introduce new players to the 41st Millenium with the miminum of expenses. A really nice advantage of this ruleset is that it gives a great opportunity to make use of some units that otherwise would see barely any or even no use whatsoever, because they really shine here ~~because of the~~ Combat Patrol rules.

A really nice advantage of this ruleset is that it gives a great opportunity to make use of some units that otherwise would see barely any or even no use whatsoever, because they really shine here with Combat Patrol's rules restrictions allowing a bit more freedom for underused choices. If you ever wanted an excuse to put [[Mandrakes\|something you'd otherwise ''never'' field on the table in a main game]], now's your chance.

	'''Combat Patrol''' is a ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' [[Tabletop]] game mode. It's designed to have maximum accessibility for new players, and, as such, is actually pretty damned awesome. The idea is a version of the tabletop game that you can play in a lunch break or something, and it's rare for a game in this mode to take more than 45 minutes. Armies rarely get too much bigger than a squad or two of troops and maybe an errant vehicle or APC. It's not a "light" set of rules, but rather an interesting way to play with the rules that already exist in the game.		'''Combat Patrol''' is a ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' [[Tabletop]] game mode.
