i should prolly mention also that UFO aftermath is more friendly towards
having your entire team whiped out, repeatedly.
on this one mission (that was pivitol to the plot, so i had to eventually
win it, no it doesn't go away till you do)  i had my entire team completely
raped about.... 6 times.   loosing your entire team isn't that bad, you'll
find they get near instantly replaced with new team members.  you only loose
your weapons, i've lost some good ones :(

so yeah, don't worry if you are getting your lungs handed to you every
second mission.  it'l eventually teach you to take less risks, more cover,
sometimes tacticaly retreat, and take better care of your guys.

oh and since you are only upto mission 6 or so, i assume you are battling
transgenents.  when i first saw transgenents with RIFLES i was getting my
ass handed to me as well.  but don't worry.  when you kill those guys, you
get their weapons (if you don't have them, it's a good idea to arm your guys
with them out in the field, ie: pick up the dead transgenent's weapon and
use it for the rest of that mission), and then from then on YOU will be
mowing them down more :).

i still get owned, and sometimes get so paniced i decide to just take cover
and when the aliens are close enough, send a hail of grenades at them.
old school :)

and whatever you do, don't do the
save/get-owned/reload/get-owned/reload/get-owned/reload/win/save thing.  it
makes you feel dirty.
jsut take it all on the chin.  you don't loose the game till you loose the
game :)
