Here are two simple tutorial scenarios that let you play your first couple of games with minimum fuss, and learn the core mechanics of the game. To play them, you each need a set of miniatures to represent your Training Fleet.

I recommend you play the Combat Simulator scenario first, to learn the basics of moving and shooting, then play the Management Training scenario next, to learn how to manage jumping in and reinforcing your fleet.
