Instead wait for them to unsiege and flank them. You don't want your units to stream in single file or from one direction but more importantly come at them like a wall. Try to run your zealots past the mines/vultures and into the tanks. Hopefully you'll drag a few mines though and blow up some tanks/vults in the process. You say you had templars? Did you have them in a shuttle? That's really the only way they'll be effective if youre attacking in the manner I'm describing. While his tanks are attacking your goons and vultures, drop your templars off to the side and storm his tanks. If you just mix them up in your army they'll lag behind and most likely get to the battle once all your stuff is dead ( a good T will just see you coming and vulture snipe your templars.) | ||

Also manually controlling your observers so that they just don't go suicide into turrets helps a lot. The worst thing after a big battle is defeating terran, only to have all of your units melt as well to mines right after because your observers died to turrets. | ||

Make sure your goons take the first round of tank fire and then immediately after your speedlots should be running in. For safety I stick my HT's in shuttles and drop them only after the engagement has started, no T worth their salt will target the shuttle over the arbiter for instance. It's merely practice but you can't just A-move into a terran mech ball, you'll die a horrible death. It takes some bad control to lose to an army you had a 66 Psi advantage over. | ||

1) if you can, dont attack a sieged terran. try to attack when he unsieges and moves 2) flank flank flank sooooo important 3) spread your goons out. very helpful 4) you also need to learn how to rush to the tank line with zealots. use couple of zealots + goons to clear mines then let the rest of the zealots in. 5) ht + shuttle! helps against vulture sniping, and also you can storm the tanks during the actual battle, not after you lost everything 6) dont get pissed, and just keep practicing. i lost so many games because of bad army control, and i still lose sometimes. i hope that helped! | ||

Don't attack into a sieged terran unless you absolutely must, and if you DO have to, flank like a motherfucker and use those zeal bombs | ||
