I used an old savegame right before i went to Mars.

I stuffed the skyranger with one tank and the rest rookies, armed them with standard rifels and nades...

I'll tell you ONE thing... It's DAMN FREAKING HARD!
It ended up with that i had blast my way to the target-pyramid and get the troops inside to get to the next level... clearing the level was just too damn risky, and it always eded up with a blaster taking down 4-5 ppl, 4 more panicing after that, and a few more MC'ed and killing theire own...
The trick is to get in range, and blast any pyramis tower with nades, and the turn after, place a proxy at any exit from the pyramid.
If the alien was on the lower part, they are bound to peek out and get a look, but instead they get blown up...

The cyber-discs where hard.. but a nade and a proxy took care of them in most cases..

Level 2.. well... haven't managed it yet.. but laser or Auto-cannons WOULD have been good.

Its ALWAYS doable..... just save and load really frequently....The real challenge is to finish it straight on without loading and if u did then RESPECT!!
