I'm gonna try to play Tactics again, any tips for helping get into the flow of things?

First time out of the vault
I always have trouble getting started, I feel like I'm overcomplicating things and making the game feel way clunkier than it should feel, and I cannot make up my mind on which of the 3 gameplay styles to use and keep going back and doubting myself
 
Depends on your playstyle, I'm a creature of habit, and usually play a slow, surgical game; setting up ambushes, sniping, sneaking, that sort - so, in my last play-through I deliberately rushed more, spent more stim-pacs, wasted more ammo

I also like using some of the less obvious weapons with rare ammo, like the Garand - being constantly low on ammo adds a bit of tension

I've been tempted to play even more carelessly, to see squad members die and get replaced, there are some interesting late game picks, but it feels wasteful to drop carefully levelled team mates.

Oh, and if you haven't, definitely go and enable Springfield secret mission from the ini file.
