Well worth it. My core squad never died but scores of others did when the core was healing up. It really is one of the best tactical games out there.

Single. If there was a MP I never noticed.

If a shot has a 99% chance to hit or less, it will miss
If a shot has a 100% to hit, it will not do enough damage to kill the target

My first mission was hilarious. Overwatched everyone on the first turn because I didn't know the controls, ran one person through fire on the second turn, the train thing exploded killing two of my guys on the fourth turn, managed to destroy the transmitter with no turns to spare.The tutorial said something about carrying a team mate to save them so I sent one guy to pick up another and he ended up dying.
Somehow my last guy finished of the two remaining enemies whilst gravely wounded. Joe Cook his name was, and he's now the leader of all my squads. I like to think of him as a shaken survivor who fights to avenge his squad mates.

They don't have a guaranteed chance to hit, but you hear stories about it happening all the time. It's also funny because it's just another way of the game saying "that's XCOM, baby!"

10/10 game, is all the DLC worth it, or just War of the Chosen?

I believe it is:

Anarchy's Children: This is a visual DLC only, it adds a whole bunch of new customization for your soldiers. It doesn't add new content in terms of gameplay.

Alien Hunters: Adds new missions and enemies (the Rules), they are boss enemies and are quite strong and tend to poke their heads at the worst possible times. They have powerful abilities, do a lot of damage. Once defeated you can get powerful armor, by researching their corpses. It also add quite interesting new weapons, you can only build these once, if you lose them on the battlefield, they are gone forever. Also, the frostbomb (grenade) is the tits.

Shen's Last: New story mission, this will to the development of the SPARK, this is a new unit for your team. They are best compared to the MEC units, they have unique equipment and unique abilities. They are easier to research into than the MEC soldiers (you don't require extra resources like Meld). If they get damaged during a mission however, they will need to be repaired, rather than rest/heal.

In terms of "value" I'd say that the Anarchy DLC adds the least. It has only visuals for your crew (which I personally really dig), but doesn't add anything else.

The Alien Hunters is my favourite I think, since it can turn the game on it's head from time to time. The rewards are totally worth it. I never really bothered with the weapons (they are pretty cool though, and have great unique effects) but the armor that you can get is amazing. You can get armor with a grapling hook for example (like the Skirmishers have).

And WotC is a must own in my opinion. It pretty much completely overhauls the entire game, new enemies, 3 new bosses, 3 new factions, new customization, weapons, armor, etc. It's far better than Enemy Within.
