Nope, innocent of that one. BARD seems to be more or less dead these days (which is sad), I don't think any of my stuff made it up there.
I've got the Challenge magazine with the "Monster" nuclear-powered tank in it. Always keep that one in my vest pocket. It makes absolutely no sense, but it's the perfect thing for an M. Bison style TED to pull out of his pocket to make the players realize exactly how insane he is. "It's...a nuclear powered tank. How does he- why would he- how do we stop this thing without forcing the evacuation of the entire province?" The last being the really pertinent question. Traditional methods of tank busting do not play well with highly enriched uranium.
