You can attack the last base from the air; in other words, with Scouts. However, this takes a huge amount of resources. You have to contend with Spore Colonies, but you will be able to strike directly at the enemy Hatchery and avoid Zerglings altogether. Scouts aren't very powerful when attacking ground targets, but a full group can break through. Also, destroying a few of the Spore Colonies opens them up to the classic Reaver Drop. Take a few Shuttles and load them with fully-stocked Reavers. Drop them all right next to the Hatchery, and pummel it with Scarabs. If you neglect to control with Shuttles, you'll probably lose your Reavers, but you'll put a halt to their production for a while and lower the local Hydralisk population. | You can attack the last base from the air; in other words, with Scouts.

===Reaver Drop=== | |||
This method will really help to clear the zerg base faster and with fewer losses if you pull this off right. Build 10 shuttles, 12 dragoons, and 8 reavers. Make sure to research all the abilities at the Robotics Support Bay. Also, make sure your dragoons are all upgraded to level 3. In the meantime, take out the teal zerg base in the southwest. Then have an observer or two scout the map. Once your reaver drop is ready, order your shuttles to unload their dragoons/reavers below the ramp that leads to the main zerg base. There are several sunkens on the ridge, so take them out with your reavers. Have the dragoons close behind to provide cover. Once the ridge is clear, send your reavers down and watch them raze the rest of the base. Make sure that your dragoons are close behind to provide cover against the enemy mutalisks and any zerg which may attack from behind. This strategy requires some micro-management and you may lose a unit or two, but if you can pull this off, you will be rewarded with a quicker win. | |||
