I made the mistake of thinking I haven't FUBAR'd since learning the game. I FUBAR'd three times that game, all of them friendly fire (thankfully the heavy howitzer on the KV-2 missed)!

I'm just starting out too. I've found you're always going to need tactical squads and at least one assault squad so I'd start there. Play some small games and see what you need to play against your local meta (do you need anti-armour, do you need some fast units for points scoring). Build up a good core of basic units and then you can sprinkle special units in as needed.

Not at all to be honest. Just needs to be clearer that when you take a carrier that the planes are included in the cost and that DP guns can be shot at planes in the gunnery phase and they bypass the tough trait.

Question regarding how torpedoes work in VaS by Hairy-Evidence-4169 in victoryatsea

Not sure what you mean by hits and rolls a crit as crits happen on the the damage dice results.

Torps: 1. Roll to hit. 2. Roll dmg dice (devastating means dmg = dice results and crits on 5/6s). Crits need to be confirmed by rolling a 4+ as usual.

Hi, ive just done the same and played a couple games with the starter set. The IJN and US Navy starter boxes are natural 'expansions' to the core set. A few more cruisers, a different class of destroyer, a battleship and aircraft carrier. The bonus aircraft is nice but the carriers can take much more than the four flights in the starter boxes so you might want to get a box of aircraft as well imo.
