I quite agree they're rather overlooked. But not entirely. The Windermann Incident by Martin Dougherty in _Crowded Hours_ (from Mongoose but reprinting Avenger adventures so it existed at one point as an Avenger PDF) features them. The deck plans leave a lot to be desired in both print and the Crowded Hours PDF, but usable ones (in PDF form) were published on the Mongoose downloads site. I've not checked DriveThru to see if this/these are still available.

Of course, I can't set myself thinking about that before this is the result. I should have at least remembered Night of Conquest.
