The enemy here is notorious for their number of Goliaths, Turrets and Ghosts. Especially with the way the enemy defenses were set up, it would be very difficult to attack from the air. Instead, just take about 18 Siege Tanks, 12 Goliaths, 2-6 SCVs, a Science Vessel and at least two Medics. Fortunately, the Dominion never uses Medics (no blinding your Science Vessel) and do not lockdown your Science Vessel until they get all the other stuff. As long as you don't lose the Science Vessel, one would do. Siege your tanks very often, and eliminate any targets you find. Your Medics should restore any units under lockdown or irradiate. Your SCVs should either repair units or build Factories (Yes, you may want to build factories in the middle of their base to replace your lost units, considering the enemy is far away from your base). If you come across many enemy Siege Tanks, don't try to fight them off. Instead, shoot at other targets that they use their Siege Tanks to respond to your attack. When they come at you, start firing at them. Whenever you advance, make sure your Science Vessel is taking the lead and shows you what's ahead; you will come across many Ghosts, Wraiths and Spider Mines, and you want to make sure you can see them first. Once you have cleared Red's main base, you will be able to take down Mengsk's Command Center with ease.

==Defending Your Base Against the Early Nukes==
Although difficult, it is possible to have most of your buildings and reinforcements survive the nukes near the beginning of the game. To follow this strategy, you need to build three Vultures and research Spider Mines. On all entrances, put down three mines each, a considerable distance away from each other. If you are careful enough, you might stop all the ghosts before the nukes fall.
