I used to head right off to Drassen Day1 like almost everyone.
Since I wised up, I make a B-line right for San Mona and Chitzena. The initial conflict is more tense and the monty haul more rewarding. You almost never return to the city, it rarely gets attacked by patrols, and is so far out of the main routes of travel... frankly I hate the place.
San Mona also provides you with a huge monetary surplus off the start.
If I find Joey in San Mona Ill sometimes let him tag along as my starting squad is almost always 3.
I grab the tourists and head for Drassen (more moeny for rescuing them).
Find Skyrider/take out Drassen SAM.
Cambria and its SAM (usually a day or two of militia training here, as well as more benefits from returning Joey)
Hicks
Drassen to pick up Automags
Alma
Balime
Chopper ride to San Mona with Chalice (layover in Cambria to sell gear there first, then Tony... BIG money after Alma/Balime scores).
By this time we're geared up so I snuff Kingpins mob and clear San Mona, never planning to return. I also steal his money and hire my first high-end merc (Scully or Reaper usually, but with the cash from the Chalice/Kingpins stash/Tony I'm prone to hiring both) at this point.
Clear the Chitzena SAM and finally return the Chalice.
Grumm
Tixa
Estoni with Shank.
Orta
From here its Meduna all the way.
Its a little off the beaten path of the usual Drassen/Cambria/Chitzena/Alma/Balime/Grumm/Meduna difficulty path, but I like to mix up my fights.

I took the Hicks out right after Drassen and before the Drassen SAM for a change. The laser sites and single scope I found at the Hicks property have been very helpful--especially so early in the game.

1. Drassen and SAM at sundown. I have custom and Ira train Drassen and the SAM then do recon around the area.
2. Alma. Take as much as I need to train militia, then train while doing recon. I usually get Buzz so she can beat people up in Alma. I can usually filch at least a C7 or FAL. Finish Alma, kill the Bloodcats. I hit Alma early for good guns and UVGs.
3. Balime, for supplies. After that, I've done 'em in different orders. With Buzz and my custom with C7s and everyone else with FALs or at least M14s and G3s, it doesn't really matter what you do next--even Grumm.
Do you guys try to uncover all the sectors and attack patrols, or do you go straight for the cities? I usually take all the cities then mop up at the end of the game before killing the Queen, but I really like doing recon now. I send anyone who isn't a doc, mechanic or a trainer out on patrols while the others heal, repair stuff and train militia. I take only enough of a town at once to train, so I don't get stuck trying to train 5 sectors while the bad guys attack.

My "routine" is to cling to a tight timetable; on every difficulty setting, I always try to conquer 3 towns in 7 days, incliding finishing all the San Mona Quests. Don't know why, I once read in a Gamemag that it would be wise to conquer Grumm within a week, and since that...well, I keep doing that. 
So the usual business is like, Drassen, SAM, pilot, back to Omerta, San Mona, Chitzena SAM, Chitzena, Grumm, Cambria...and after that, I usually enjoy some spare freetime travelling, meeting people, killing elites...hehe. ^^

So far I only have played JA2 gold v1.12 (three complete games in expert).
- recruit a 6 mercs team (low level with good stats)
- take Drassen, kills patrols in the surrounding squares, then recruit Biff, Flo and Gasket to train/repair
- take Drassen SAM site, wait for the grey shirts counterattack, kill them
- build a second squad around Ira and Dimtri and keep it in Drassen to hunt Patrols in the North East
- go to san Mona with the first squad and Biff and Flo, fire Gasket.
- Go to Estoni and recruit Maddog (he is level 1, so recruit at the soonest)
- Take Cambria, then the Sam site
- Take Alma, then Tixa, free the prisonners to get Alma's support and Estoni's gas
- get rid of Shank and Dynamo, Biff and Flo, then built 3 * 6 mercs squads
- Go to Chitzena ans its SAM site (it's far away so I wait to go for it)
- Take Balime
- Take Grumm
- Take Meduna
I always hunt all Deirdrana's patrols with my mercs (I also train militia of course), that's why I wish to have 18 of them in the end. For the same reason, I wait to have enough personnel and money (for helico) to take Chitzena.
Once I take it, Cambria is my main base, until I take Balime (cool to sell items there).

this is an interesting read... i always just kinda figured my routine was common, turns out it isnt... i split into two squads from the get go, 1 day contracts to everyone, then Blitz Drassan and Chitzena at the same time, i dont stop to heal injuries, just pach them up as i go. i save every 2-3 rounds, and reload in case of critical hits and/or redshirt hits with a pistol from 1 and a half screens away, but ny sniper cant hit him ;p
anyway, once both towns are taken i stop for a bit to build militia in drassen, while my Chitzena team goes for kingpin's money, and kingpin. sometimes i get frustrated and leave without killing him... saving often when i'm in tactical and relaoding when i run into a hitman, if i can take him down while only losing mercs i wasnt going to rehire anyway all the better, it just depends on how much patience for relaoding i have at the time.
i then use the money to extend the essential mercs, my Blitz team is usually 8-10, and i usually end up keeping 6ish. If ive got 3 or more in chitzena i'll take the sam site, if i dont i'll just go to regrouping mode.
the mercs left in chitzena/chitzena SAM then escort the forigners to Drassen, stoping to pick up Dimitri on the way.
sometimes i take Drassen Sam before regrouping, sometimes i wait till after, it depends on which squad is stronger after dismissing the unnessecary mercs on the blitz team.
after the initial blitz i go Cambria, Alma, Balime, Tixa, Orta, Grumm, then Meduna and the biotch.
