- Walkthrough
This will be a very long but fun kill-everything-on-the-map scenario. When you start, all buildings are floating and all units are on a small platform. Before you say, "Well, what in the world do I do now?!?!" notice the two Dropships you have. Load everyone into that, and fly the entire fleet and all buildings northwest until you come to land. Set down all buildings next to their respective add-ons (you have two Command Centers and two Nuclear Silos) and set your workers to, well, work. You have lots of minerals but only one Geyser, and it's inconveniently located far away from the southern Nuke Silo. You'll have to put about seven or eight SCVs on gas to get a full stream, but if you don't want to do this simply don't place the second Command Center next to the Silo. If you need more Nukes later, just move it back then.
While this is going on, have Duke and the Wraiths scout out the immediate area to get an idea of the surroundings. Stop when you see some bunkers and Missile Turrets, northwest of your base. Take the Norad II and press Y (for Yamato Gun), then left-click on the closest Turret. Not only is the Yamato Gun (often referred to as the Y-gun) powerful enough to take out a Turret in one shot, it has far superior range than almost any anti-air defense. As Duke charges up, have him Y-gun down more Turrets and, when you can't get within range of a Turret without getting shot at, bunkers. If the enemy sends Goliaths or something to counter, have Duke fight them, but try to return him to base before he takes serious damage. When he does return, select about five working SCVs and have them all repair him at the same time.
