2.1 Dealing with flying UFOs
Those flashing lights in the night sky are not fun any more.
Shoot them down and sort them out on the ground! See section 4.X
for strategy and tactics on air combat.

2.2 Dealing with landed or crashed UFOs
So you manage to catch an UFO on the ground or shot one down!
See section 5.X for Ground Combat Strategies and Tactics.
Remember that landed UFOs can take off again, and it will be hard
to catch then. Also, landed UFOs usually means there is an alien
base nearby.

2.3 Dealing with Terror Sites
Just like the intro animation, your team rushes to the rescue of
the defenseless civilians! See section 5.X for Ground Combat
Strategies and Tactics. Just remember that civilian casualties
must be avoided at all costs!

2.4 Dealing with your initial lack of technology
This can only be countered by research. See 6.X for Research and
Manufacture Strategies. Initially you have few options to go,
but as you capture alien hardware you will be able to copy the
aliens weapons you captured.

2.5 Dealing with your limited budget
The countries pay you certain amount of money each month, and may
increase or decrease the funding level depending on their
satisfaction level of your performance. Unfortunately, that
source of money is never enough. Section 7.X goes into detail on
how you can make more money. Also see A.8 and A.10
