Not a lot of StarCraft players here on SI,
or maybe everybody is playing Tiberian Sun--
there are certainly plenty of strategy war
games out there...

Well, I had to concede the Protoss/Terran game.
In fact, we replayed from a saved game and I
again I lost.

If you're playing terran, I think it is idiotic
to "turtle in" and defend crystal patches. Quite
obviously I need to learn my hotkeys, constantly
comsat the board, and make airdrops from time to
time into poorly defended Protoss expansions.

The strategy of defending high terrain with the
superior reach of the Seige Tanks--with marine,
SciVessel and Battlecruiser support is fine, but
why not take that defense out for some fun? I will
build a second drop vessel in the next game, and
after establishing the second command center (or
having moved the first cc to the second patch) I
will go on some Tank drops. One tank and four
marines in each dropship, with some Yamato fire
power to take out Protoss cannons--this has to win.
Protoss is a pricy race, knock back the expansions!
