And I have to say that whilst making holes in the roof of UFOs and throwing in HE packs might seem good, but you'll be kicking yourself when you take out all of the Power Sources/UFO Navigation + kill anyone useful.
It's one of my favourite tactics for the smaller ufo's (size 9, in whatever these were measured). If there's a 3 by 3 squares hole in the roof, in most cases the power source was gone long before you arrived at the site anyway. And a little later in the game, ufo's of that size don't carry anyone important enough to keep alive.

And speaking of cheating: half a year ago, I decided to replay UFO. But since I didn't have enough time for a normal campaign, I speeded things up by boosting my soldiers. I must admit I've never enjoyed invading alien bases that much
Mind you, I wouldn't do this if I'd never played the game before, I always want to see whether I can beat the game honestly.
But it was fun... only 3 casualties in the whole game
