@koala no thanks

Why are some HRE rules available and some are not:

The G40 HRE WC26 is the first of its kind. The event is also used to test the HRE Tournament Rules.

We have analyzed more than 200 G40 HRE board games in the period 2015-2024 to find out which units & rules are most widely used.

The Units & Rules that are not available in the G40 HRE WC26 are either not commonly used during most games - or they are only used when the outcome of the game seems to already be determined.

With one exception: Increased Shipbuilding in the Pacific Theatre (US & Japan).
This rule is a basic element of the HRE - so it seemed obvious that the rule should be included in the G40 HRE WC26.
Then why is it not included:
We are play testing a new unit & rule: Naval Fleet Commander and Naval Task Force Group

Since we concluded that Increased Shipbuilding in the Pacific Theatre might have an effect on the impact of the Naval Fleet Commander, we decided - initially - to exclude the Increased Shipbuilding in the Pacific Theatre rule from the HRE Tournament Rules.

By Late 2025 we might have the Naval Fleet Commander ready for use after the final play testing.

We will then decide if this rule - and Increased Shipbuilding in the Pacific Theatre will be included in the G40 HRE WC26.

@Witt seems like they saw your reluctant move and thought : „ hmm so the war hasn’t stared yet?“ 😛
