StarCraft/Terran mission 9: New Gettysberg: Difference between revisions

When this base is history, repair any damages and go south. This one is a bit larger than the previous one, but you still shouldn't have any problems (if you lost any Battlecruisers, build replacements as soon as possible). When the last structure is down, your main base will be overrun with overwhelming Zerg forces (it seems that the computer always sends more units than your defenses). Do not try to counter this. Instead, pop Kerrigan out of the bunker and take her as far away from the attack as possible. A bit of scripted events will occur, Arcturus Mengsk will make a shocking decision, and you've won!

If you don't want to win the mission with Battlecruisers alone, build lots of Siege Tanks and Goliaths. With this strategy you should tackle the lower base first. When your forces consisting of at least 10 Siege Tanks, 20 Goliaths, and 12 Marines (plus Wraiths or Battlecruisers) is ready, send them down from where your expansion is to the ramps leading to the Protoss base. Set up your tanks in Siege Mode above the ramps to give them the high ground advantage, and use some Wraiths to lure Dragoons out into the loving embrace of the Tanks. Zealots will have to be killed with the Tanks as well, as a single Zealot will beat a Goliath into hulking metal any day. Slowly advance your forces with SCV and, if possible, Battlecruiser support, and once this base is done for, send your forces up after replenishing. By this point there shouldn't be much danger to your expansion anymore, so feel free to mine.
