I recently have gotten into playing incursion and was wondering what SNAFU brings to the game. Some of my questions are:

1) How do the british play differently than the APEs?
2) How do the germans play?
3) Are there new missions? How do these mission change the feel of the game?
4) Is there a way to get the cardboard pop ups? Maybe a second board?

Thank you ahead of time. Im trying to get a feel for the flavor and play changes for SNAFU before I make the leap.

Mind a response from a Grindhouse staff member? Here we go:

1) Brits are glass hammers. F4 single wound models, you always have to save 2 cp to ward off booby trap or rackley. But they're cheaper and have more ap. So if we compare 6 rp worth of APE grunts (2 models) vs 6 rp worth of Brits (3 models) we have:
Shooting 24 dice vs 18 dice (brits vs apes, full ap spent shooting)
Grenades: 6 grenades tossed vs 2 grenaded tossed (brits vs apes, apes have 1 ap left over).
The higher model count also allows you to cover more of the board and even though your reaction fire isn't as impressive a single die means you'll never run low on ammo.
Ultimately, Brits take some getting use to.

2) New German units are the Panzeraffe and Drohne. Drohne plays like a grenadeless more nimble APE that you're wary of using CP on. The panzeraffe plays like a large cybernetic monkey with a heavy machine gun (I'm being smart, he does equally well shooting as he does in HtH and has a high fortitude and a lot of wounds).

3) There are 20 new missions, including 7 solo missions. These include missions where you're using 2 boards, a mission where you have 3 players (Brits and US vs Germans), a mission where it's brits vs US (fighting over Nazi Gold!)

4) I have a handful of extra boards in stock. email me at sales@grindhousegames.com
The other elements for SNAFU are available for free electronically, at which point you book some time with the office printer or head down to the Fedex Office.

So there you are. I already mentioned my heavy bias, didn't I? Hopefully someone with a more neutral slant will respond.

Couldnt have asked for a better response. Thank you!
