You seem to be talking about two different things. First, it is games that use only one of each. Then it is games that include both pieces. Some games do both, such as Carrera's Chess and related games. Some do neither, such as Janus Chess. But some do one and not the other, such as Gross Chess. In Gross Chess, each player starts out with two apiece of each of these two pieces. So, it includes both pieces, but it does not give each player only one of each.
I see that you do ackowledge this when you say
and Gross Chess two Marshalls on 12x12 and also two BN.
But later you say,
Apparently though to most inventors, RN and BN cannot stand on their own hindlegs, you can't have one without the other. Credit Janus and Gross for not adhering to that philosophy.
As you already mentioned, Gross Chess doesn't have one without the other.
