Genso Suikoden Short Stories

[Jack of All Trades]

I'm working on a big suikoden project that I hope to be able to share with the community. I'm not willing to talk about it until it becomes more solid but it has become apparent that I need more information on the Succession War. From my research it seems that one of the best sources of information comes in the form of the Genso Suikoden Short Stories publications.

Unfortunately, I can't find any copies on ebay or amazon.com. More importantly I'm not even sure it was ever released in english. I've even stooped so lo as to search for scanslations. I'm at a loss and I don't know what to do. So far I know of only one succession war story in the manga but it's absolutely crucial that I either procure some form of copy of it. Can anyone help me?
