| "Mission Overview: Intelligence tells us the Protoss are descending on the Zerg Hive on Tarsonis. Menggsk worries the Protoss will devert the Zerg from their attack on the Confederation, and has ordered Kerrigan to engage the Protoss forces so the Zerg can be unencumbered in their their attacks on the Confederation. Mission Objectives: -Destroy Protoss Forces -All Zerg buildings must survive -Kerrigan must survive Special Unit: -Kerrigan New Unit: -Battlecruiser New Enemy Units (Protoss) -Dragoon -Zealot -Scout -Shuttle Battle Strategy: A large force of Zerg lies just north of your position. However, you can't attack the zerg actively because even destroying 1 Zerg building will result in mission falure. Instead place Bunkers (filled with Marines) near the ramps leading up to Zerg positions. As reasources allow, also place a few Missle Turrets in the area to protect against Mutalisk attack. In fact, placing these defensive stuctures along the norther boundary of your base should be your first priority. Once they're in place they'll do there work without your attention. Send your dropship with some SCVs to claim the mineral deposites in the left-center and bottom center of the map. Then build an Armory, a Starport, a Refinery(if you haven't yet), and a Science Facility. As this is going on, build a pair of bunkers on the path behind the mineral field at your base. The Protoss eventually will send Zealots through this area, and if you don't have a pair of well stocked Bunkers, you'll get destroyed. Note: Zealots These units look like the equivalent of Marines, but in fact they're much tougher to kill, and there attacks have more than twice the power of a Marine's gun. Although theay look like you can match up one on one with Marines or Firebats, doing so will mean a one way ticket to to Bloodville. You can attemt to win this mission through a bloody ground-based battle, but an alternative strategy will save your troops' lives. However, it will cost plenty of resources. After setting up your two new Command Centers and protecting the main base sufficently, build an extra Starport, making sure to include a Control Tower. Once you can build Battlecruisers, build them as fast as you can until you have eight or ten. This is no small task, and you must defend youir base from Protoss attacksas you amass this force. It will be worth it in the end, however. Once you have a fleet of Battlecruisers, fly them down to the lower Command Center and make sure you've researched the Yamato Gun. Finally, before you begin your attack, group four to six SCVs as a repair team that can repair badly damaged Battlecruisers quickly. Use Your Comsat Stations to locate enemy Photon Cannons. Then move your fleet of battlecruisers in for the kill. Work your way along the bottom of the map until you've wiped out all the structures. If you're getting clobbered, return to base for repair. Tip: Battlecruiser Priorities Before you move a large fleet into battle, remember to prioritize the units you'll attack. Photon Cannons, Dragoons, and Scouts, which fire back, take priority over Shuttles and other buildings. If you mobilize the entire fleet's firepower on one of these units, often you can destroy them in one volley, so often it's wise to focus on one unit at a time. The remaining structures can wait until you've eliminated the most threatening units. As you work your way through the Protoss base, don't be afraid to use your Yamato Guns to take out larger structures. Most structures will succumb after two Yamato shots. Use this weapon together with other Battlecruisers' lasers to go through the base like a hot knife through butter. The remaining Protoss structures lie in the upper-right corner of the map. Go to it! Resource Management: .Once your base is secure from random Zerg attacks, use your Dropship to take two SCVs down to the mineral deposits in the left-center and bottom-center areas of the map. Next build Command Centers near the mineral fields as quickly as posible. This speeds up this mission considerably. The mineral field at the bottom of the map is close to a large Protoss installation, so don't venture far. Just build the Command Center and start collecting minerals. This scenario has a fixed amount of resources, and long, drawn-out battles will surely deplete what you'd otherwise need for decisive victory. Don't fritter away your resources during the build-up phase, and don't attack until you have at least eight Battlecruisers. For best results, gather all the resourcees you can, as quickly as you can, as you build the structures needed to create Battlecruisers." |
