It was hard for me as well. But the trick is that if you save at the beginning of every turn in a different slot you can always later go back (load) and try again (because aliens would on same places).
Another thing is that you have to develope armor (2 dead Deep One and later, i think, ion beam accelerator for stronger armor) and sonic cannon as quickly as you can.
In short you need to develope rapidly: Sonic Cannon, Thermal shock launcher (it is needed to get live aliens) and armor.
Also vibro blade is good to be researched as it will become ultimate close combat weapons.
If you are still haveoing problems see the walkthrough and FAQ here:
FAQ/Walkthrough
You can also find a tech tree there. But to me most importantly was to save each turn and sometimes you can let them attack your base (you will get lot's of goodies that way and corpses for research).
