I'm only playing the game on experienced level, so I'll be interested to see if I will need to change my stratagy when I play on a higher level.

I use 8 bases, 3 with troopers and the rest only for interceptors. Europe (small lab, small workshop, 25 troopers, 1 Interceptor and 1 Firestorm); SouthAmerica (big workshop, 20 troops, 1 I and 1 F); South East Asia (big lab, 20 T, 1 I and 1 F); North America (1 I); Africa (1 I); Australia (1 I); Siberia (1 I); Antartica (1 I). I only lost tracks when they go trought Pacific, i need a listening post on Hawai. I start first base in Europe where u got most of your income, and next build min facilities bases network and expand where aliens show more interest.

Is it possible to use those red teleport things yourself?
When I start playing a base attack mission most of my men start in a room with green floor which I can't seem to be able to leave. Only one or two of my men are outside these rooms, and that of course makes it pretty hard to finish the mission.
The last one, for example, I had to finish with only one man. He got a rediculous amount of kills, which was pretty funny, but it was also very hard to do. Any suggestions?

haha, u must know that the green floor and the red squares that u called teleport thing are just elevators, there are two buttons as a pawn and an arrow head next to use them. When the elevator goes to an upper level u will see some red lines coming from the floor. U need use them to attack some big ships where a 4 squares alien can be trapped in the upper hull
Anyway avoid to have all your squad or most of it in the same place during an alien base attacks, move as max in groups of 2, all the groups should work as one but no more of 2 men by room or some fusion ball launcher will blow up any room with 3 squaddies. If they sppot a room with many people KABOOM. Better got rambo like heros than got a top squad dead.
