I appreciate the feedback, but I’d really prefer to run this with GMK. I’ve considered SP as a backup previously, but GMK is the better match.
The heart of this set was the old kitting: both the German and Polish base kits. If you go back and look closely, the German base isn’t just alpha compatibility but having the legends that GMK and Cherry would use for commercial boards sold specifically to German customers, with keys using “Strg” instead of “Ctrl” and similar.
I wanted that plan to succeed. Two base kits, both important and reflective of the Prussian territory and identity.
But that plan did not succeed.
I’m going to ask my vendors if we can work out some sort of bundle pricing to encourage people to pick up either of the two language addons.
The base kit will be a complete product functionally, but the complete products artistically will be pairing the base with either the German or Polish addons.
It’s a frustrating change, to be clear. But I already tried the two base kit method once, and it was not a good result. Trying to run nearly the same thing again would be unwise.
