I've been adding stuff (I'm bored and it's funny). My OP was originally mostly quotes from the strategy section but it turns out the "Units and how to use them" section is as good or better.

I was cleaning my desk today and literally was reading the same thing. Love it though, it's so cute. It reminds me of my AoE3 guide, it came with the same mostly useless advice.

Oh god haha yeah i had that from the battlechest, I wonder if I still have it...

...I remember endlessly flipping through and reading that when bored when I was in elementary school, had no clue about what I really was reading about (yay for being a kid and only playing it by playing campaign with cheats!).

I was going to write about the original, vanilla Prima guide, but as it turns out it's pretty much the same thing. The two obvious differences are that it doesn't have the BW units and has a walkthrough of the original campaign instead of BW's.

Oh well!

-Use a Carrier-Scout combination against Battlecruisers
-Build plenty of Dragoons and Scouts to defend against Mutalisks
-During a frontal attack, it's good to flank both sides of your opponent's army with packs of 3 to 5 scouts.
-Keep at least one scout in your base to be on the safe side (dear lord)

TERRAN

-Upgraded Goliaths are good against scouts.

-In ZvP, build Hydralisks because they're good against Zealots, Dragoons and Scouts.

I always wondered what to do vs battlecruisers...

I wonder if scouts actually work... I guess they would?

As long as they don't have gosu yamato micro, I should think that scouts of equal value would decimate BCs.

I still have the Prima strategy guide from the many Battlechests I purchased.

edit: Some of these remain true nonetheless and the hydralisk comment is gold.

Because Terran structures are mobile, you can use a "moving city tactic"

A+ advice right there.

Or you can force a win by floating all your remaining buildings to a area thats unreachable by units.

It's because you carefully put at least 3 cannons at your entrance and add dragoons, of course. And probably scouts too.
