A very specific, extreme, but very powerful gambit.

My earlier post describes the process. But essentially in Classic you NEED to start in USA, no tutorial, make sure there is a hole to the right of your first elevator, and don't buy ANYTHING. The goal is to get your 3 satellites started by the 10th by selling everything in the grey market, and still have enough money to build a workshop after getting the engineer reward. Then by the 14th you need to have shot down an UFO (hopefully with intact stuff to sell) so that you can get money together to pay for a Satellite Network.

This would use up all 30 units of electricity the Classic and Impossible base has. So you are not able to build anything else. You also would likely fall behind technologically as you likely would sell the power core and Nav computer, never mind the weapon fragments and alloys.

But if you can get it to work, it is possible to get all of Africa before the month ends and start the 2nd month with more than 500 credits.
