Hello people,

First of all I'm going to say that I'm not asking anyone's opinion about
which is better.
Ok, now on to the real purpose of this message.  I recently went on a
UFO frenzy and played the game beginning to end within the timespan of
about 48 hours.  After I was done with that, I hade a taste for more,
so after quite a while of searching I found a copy of TFTD.  I installed
it on my system and started playing.

I got creamed.

It seems to me like the game moves much too fast, and the more dangerous
aliens start arriving much earlier in the game, effectively wiping out
several platoons of unprepared soldiers.  I don't seem to have enough
time to research anything, and pretty much I bite the big one every
time.  Seeing that I didn't find UFO too difficult, can anyone please
tell me if I'm doing something wrong here?  I'm playing in the same
style I used in UFO (which is irrelevant, but seeing that it worked for
UFO, I would assume it would work in TFTD) but it seems as though I'm
doing something wrong...  Can anyone please tell me if they encountered
the same problems and if they can help me out a bit or if i just suck at
this despite all the good will :).

Thanx,
Eran
