Default Barbarians at the Gate Rules?

So, I was looking at the entry for "Barbarians at the Gate" on Boardgamegeek and noticed the references to some variant rules. Did any of those ever see the light of day? If so, where/how might I obtain them? I'm particularly interested in the variant cruise missiles.

Barbarians at the Gate is an expansion pack for Ogre: Designer Edition.

It consists of four counter sheets with three different factions in the world of Ogre plus a book with the corresponding rules for these counters as well as scenarios.
Quote:
Unique features of this expansion include:

Counters of the three factions in appropriate colors:
  • Purple with gold trim depicting the Vatican Guard
  • Black and orange tiger stripes (plus the “White Tigers”) representing the Sons of Old Nassau regiment
  • Pink GEVs for the Anarchist Relief Front…of course!
  • Two new GEV units for all three factions: the Missile GEV & the Heavy GEV!
  • Heavy Weapon Teams for both the Vatican Guard & the Sons of Old Nassau.
  • “White Tiger” infantry counters and rules as an “elite” cadre.
  • Pikemans (Ogre Mk I) for both the Vatican Guard & the Sons of Old Nassau.
  • New hex overlays with the associated rules for GEV Ramps and Vehicle Fords as well as overlays for Rapids/Breakers on waterways… (GEVs beware!)
  • Variant rules for multiple types of Cruise Missiles; randomized control of a third squad in a two-player game; 4 game scenarios (& 19 sub-scenarios!); a green train to match the Black Rose counters in Ogre: Designer Edition; 224 total counters and more!

If you order Barbarians at the Gate from Drew, he includes a booklet with backstory, rules and scenarios. But they're exclusive to his stuff, so you have to buy the sheet from him to get it (unless, of course, you can convince him to sell it to you separately, but why skip the counters? :P).
