Does anyone know of a place where I can find simple translations for the flavor text around some of the weapons that are in Arsenal 2060 that aren't available in the American Cannon Companion? I'm interested in expanding our weapon selection, but I don't want to miss some advantage or disadvantage that only shows up in the text surrounding the weapon, and I don't speak German. I only got the book as a novelty ... and for the pretty weapon pictures :)

Also, does anyone know the conversion rate for the unit EC found in 2060 to :nuyen: ?

Any ideas on the money?

I think it might well be not be written anywhere in SoE. However the previous German books (though the old Germany Sourcebook referred to ECU instead) fixed the rate around 1€=1¥.

The Arsenal 2060 uses "EC" (European Currency) instead of € (Euro), as this currency designation had been used in all Germany-books.
The retconning of ECU into Euro happened later.

The EC and Nuyen are 1:1 according to Germany pg14.

How does one in the states go about getting ANY of the german sourcebooks?

I missed my chance at Origins for germany II.

I'd like to have a copy of Arsenal 2060 and DEutchland en den schatten II.
Forgive me if i spelled those wrong.

not to mention the campaign book that deals with Proteus AG.

Maybe from Fanpro's German Store? They have the books, though I don't know if they ship to the US.
