so P players, can you kill a thor + ~8 marines (in bunkers?) + several scvs repairing/fighting at the ~7 minute mark? im talking about killing that force at the enemys base, not defending in your base so reinforcements might take a bit time to get there and probes are not an option. im playing around with a build but dont have enough quality testing or replays against decent masters players to open a thread yet so i jsut want some input. thx for your help :>    | ||

Either way, I'm pretty sure a 4 warpgate could take that out. | ||

Why do you need to kill that? So many questions left unanswered! Either way, I'm pretty sure a 4 warpgate could take that out. edited my op a bit. im doing a build where i end up with that force at around 7 minutes in and try to expand. my question is if a P that scouts that (either with a obs abit earlier or when he sees the actual units) will be able to just go kill it or not after a normal opening. vs something allinish like a 4gate its about if i can stay alive and defend my main/ramp, vs a more normal build if i can hold my expo. i basicly just want some thoughts of what a P thinks and how he reacts when he scouts this with his first observer or later a unit. for example if you do a 4gate and see this, do you think "great! im just gonna go kill him up his ramp!" or are you hesitant? if you do a 2gate robo would you think " k i boost immortals out and bust his expo in 2 minutes" or do you expand after you see it with a observer? | ||

If it's a proper 4-gate, the protoss won't be scouting with anything other than a probe, and the attack will hit before the 7 minute mark. A protoss opening with 2gate robo is unlikely to go after you either, since relying on a few immortals to be able to handle your thors is very risky due to strike cannons and marine snipes. I would think the most likely response would be to expand, produce a couple of immortals, and tech zealot legs or DTs. In answer to your main question, the protoss probably won't have the forces to deny your expansion unless they were planning for a timing attack that hits around then. | ||

You can in most cases safely expand with your build, there are a few exceptions, but they are not noteworthy. Though a 4 Gate that hits around 5.30 might hurt ya, but since i dont know your exact BO i can't help ya there :D If i'd scout that, i'd most likely take a fast 3rd with trying to harass (depending on map though) since your "deathball" will take some time to be effective vs a normal Protoss build and is fairly immobile (except Hellion but you can't deny all harass with it, and counter agression vs P is easily hold off when P looks @ minimap). Oh well i think we answered your question fairly well :D | ||
