Please see the other alien links. Their authors did the major work that led to my success.
As far as I am concerned, 1975 is not doable unless you have maxed artillery. The extra incremental damage is what puts you over the top. Weak artillery doesn't affect your target enough, and with the aliens, a stupid but powerful enemy, ineffectiveness is not acceptable.
France is key because of its proximity to many allies. Why is this important? Many alternate targets for the aliens, and many cities nearby, meaning many possible income sources. France also starts with a nuke city, which is key for mid- and endgame.
Really, now that I've completed a 1975 campaign, I don't think there's a special strategy. I did have some keys for my victory,and maybe these things were necessary. Maybe not
I do think it's key to grab Zurich and the city to the SE, and then Munich, as those cities add key gold per turn, and can be kept relatively easily.
Grabbing open cities is key. PMI IS KEY, and for those who champion mobility as a critical trait, I think 1975 is the perfect place to make your argument.
Not moving too quickly seems to be key. Taking 2 RA to take on a group of enemies isn't smart. Taking 7 is.
Using infantry to sop up alien attack really works to prevent damage to your effective units.
In any case, I did it in 93 turns. Not too bad, I guess

.. Congrats with your win.. It keeps a lot of work
