Combat Patrol

What a Combat Patrol is

In the application, Combat Patrol is an edition of its own beside the editions of Warhammer 40,000. Each Combat Patrol names its units with their model counts and wargear; the first row, Patrol Rules, carries the rules of the patrol itself.

• Fixed list: what the Combat Patrol contains is set. There are no points, no points limit and nothing to configure.
• Legacy: Combat Patrols the application no longer carries stay available. They wear the Legacy badge and appear once you tick Show legacy Combat Patrols.
• A limit of its own: the free version counts Combat Patrols on their own, apart from your other lists.

Downloading the catalogue

Combat Patrol has a catalogue of its own. You can tick it on the first start or download it later under Options › Data sources.

Combat Patrol is always offered in the edition picker of the army lists, even without its catalogue. Choose it before its catalogue is on the device, and the application asks whether to download it; cancel, and it downloads nothing.

Choosing a Combat Patrol

1. Choose the edition Combat Patrol at the top of the army lists.
2. Choose New list at the bottom. The layer Choose Combat Patrol opens.
3. Choose the Group and, in it, the Faction. Below them its Combat Patrols stand as cards, each with its units.
4. Click the card you want; the bottom line names the one chosen.
5. Choose Apply. The application creates the list and opens it.

The fixed list

A Combat Patrol opens differently from a built list: its units stand in the middle, the datasheet of the marked unit on the right. There is no catalogue here and no button for editing.

1. The units of the Combat Patrol; a click shows its datasheet on the right.
2. “Delete list” removes the list.
3. “Datasheets” prints the list as a PDF.
4. “To showcase” takes the models into your showcase.

• Possible: viewing, printing the datasheets as a PDF, taking it into the showcase and deleting it.
• Not possible: adding, changing or removing units, opening the list settings, and exporting the list as text or a file.

Why some lists are there to be viewed only is also explained under Read-only lists.
