Well... it's turn number 33
I wanted to see if I could somehow manage to pull off a reasonable start then I would eventually win over the Aliens by sheer intelligent strategy. Even if it takes like 250 turns, if I win, it would be an incredible achievement with a feeble level 3 artillery technology, no Ion cannon (I'm not planning to spend medals on it anyway), 5 generals: Badoglio, Drimtricu the Romanian tank guy, and 3 un-upgraded no-eyes cmdrs.
I tried out France as first attempt, getting my feet wet (and my head blown off cleanly, ow...). I noticed that Iraq got dogpiled very heavily and very very early, while Italy seems to be among the last ones that collapsed to the invasion. So I tried Italy as my second choice, it lasted quite longer but I made so many mistakes. I knew it was so difficult to expand and get sufficient income to spam rocket artilleries. So I decided carefully on a country that seems to have decent income in comparison to other choices but not so spreaded out. I picked USA and I felt that San Francisco was the vital key since I could gather the starting troops from Alaska and Washington DC toward California while leaving some defenders to hold off longer. The additional income did help, but I'm not sure if I am doing it wrong lol.
Tell me, the experienced veterans... should I press on with this luancy or press the restart button once again? I feel like I did accomplish quite a lot this time, and I probably could do better next time.

Most of my RAs are near Denver. And I had only Badoglio worthwhile left now and he is likely to get hit on the next turn from the north. The Romanian general that I have a hard time spelling his name... he's nearly completely absolutely dead with only 30ish HP left. He is busy in Hudson Bay grabbing a ship port to create a distracting target for aliens to go after. I also have finally got a motorized infantry into central Canada around the 3 cities to play tag with villages and oil pumps. My previous two attempts almost got into Canada but UFOs that were on the way to my cities came along and fried those two infantries to a crisp.
