Hey, Rich. Long time ago (last year, seems like forever) FanPro, the
German distributor of SRTCG, printed their own set of cards -- all the
FASA regulars, and three additional promos.

The actual text is on my website (dig around in the Spoilers section).
In brief, there were three cards:

- Ingram Smartgun: Slightly more expensive version of the Ingram
Valiant, with the additional bonus of being silenced and getting +1
Stealth against Electronic Challenges.

- The Brandenburg Gate: Spend money to "buy" a team to intercept another
player's Runner (creates a temporary token, basically)

- Artificial Intelligence: The big nasty, it had Security Decker's
Recon-swat ability, but could only be attacked by Deckers (and at 3/10,
there are few teams of Deckers who could kill it!)

I won't go into the many reasons these cards are broken, broken,
broken. (I *won't*, darnit!) I have copies of the cards which I traded
very heavily for; apparently, someone else was able to ask for and
received copies of the cards himself; I haven;t heard of any others
winging to the states.
