[. . . ] Experiment with different sized bases - you don't always have to build hangars. Build dedicated `listening posts', equipped with both large and small radar systems, then add hangars when you can afford them. By using this tactic, you will detect many more UFOs. Develop a powerful squad. Don't allow your soldiers to be killed in the ground assaults, you will find that they fight better when they are more experienced. Equip your squad with the best weapons available and avoid exposing your soldiers to enemy fire by keeping them in cover. Plan your research carefully. Concentrate research on developing alien-based technologies and take care that your scientists stay busy - research work costs relatively little and the rewards are great. Build new weapons and craft based on alien technology. If your scientists have researched alien items, your engineers will be able to reproduce them. X-COM will eventually be using the most advanced weaponry on Earth, fighting the aliens with their own technology!
