Now build a second bunker along the path leading to the bridge to the red
base. Have it begin to crank out marines and move these troops to the northeast
of the bridge. Back them up with a line of tanks in siege mode and some wraiths
for cover. When you can spare about eight marines, send them down into the
mineral field along with an SCV. Have the SCV build a command center and then
have it crank out more SCVs. Set all the SCVs to resource gathering except for
two. Use these two to ring area with missile launchers. Also place bunkers at
the base of each ramp leading to the area and fill them with marines. Continue
to build troops and send them to the area.
I wouldn't recommend getting too close to the ramps leading to white's base.
They always seem to be covered with troops and moving too close to them invites
assaults. White will hit you often enough on his own accord.
Once you have secured the central area, build an additional starport. Have
your starports generate battle cruisers. Make sure that you have also researched
the yamato gun.
Sensor sweep the area around the ion cannon to identify the locations of the
missile launchers. Have a battlecruiser target each individual forward launcher
with its yamato gun and then have it fall back. When you have six to eight
battlecruisers, assault the area around the cannon. Target each defensive unit
with anti-air capability in turn with your entire cruiser group. When these
defenses have been cleared, target the ion cannon with the group's yamato guns.
Some final tips:
- Research everything to the maximum as soon as you can. Your opponents have
all the upgrades and you need to even the playing field a little.
- Be prepared to be knocked back a few times. Just make sure that you
rebuild your forward defenses after each incursion.
- When you hit the ion cannon's defenses, your bases will be hit pretty hard
in an all-out assault. Don't let this distract you - methodically take out
the cannon's defenses and then the cannon itself.
- Once your forward command center is secured, build a third command center
near the minerals on the ridge to the northeast of your initial base. The
additional minerals there will help fuel your war machine.
