I have the 6th edition rulebook but can't find the rules for "combat patrol". Did GW discontinue the ruleset?

I'm not sure off the back of my hand, but if you wanted to play combat control, just have both you and your opponent limit yourself to the allies FOC (1 HQ, 1 - 2 Troops, 0 - 1 of everything else, no Fortifications) and play on a 4' by 4' board.

If you search for 40k in 40 minutes you may have some luck finding a pdf.

I think Adepticon has some rules too.

Cool thanks guys.

There is also a set of rules on the battle missions expansion book

Battle missions expansion, several variations on the Kill Team concept that existed back in 4e, and other such documents exist in various places to approximate skirmish games.

My gaming group adapted the rules for 6th edition, details are in my the first post in this set of battle reports:

Necromunda rules are free too if you want a slightly different squad level game.
