Annoyingly, I can't find my photograph of this one - I think it was a Red Shadow (belonging to Coosbay_pirate?)
If anyone has a photo, please post it

Thanks... it is probably logical that the following also exist:

Series 1 - French only (since there is series 2 French only version)
Series 2 - Spanish only (since there is series 1 Spanish only version)

So a complete set of all card backs and variants would mean how many cards?

Lots of the cards have only two possible variants such as z force medic and minesweeper and then we have the miscarded such as the various maps and guns with the black major or the gun variants with the z force captain.

Bugger!

Hang on mo. I still have another 12 types to go!

In total, I make 26 different types... I suspect there will be more.
Also, when I post the matrix, all will be relatively clear!

That's this evening's job!
