I've wondered this for awhile but never bothered to ask. What is the correct way to hotkey and micro marines and medics? I have tried hotkeying marines and medics together as well as in separate groups. When I put them together and send the marines in to attack. The medics just rush forward in front of the marines, leaving them to die. The other way I've tried is sending in marines with one hotkey, sending the meds to marine area and pressing stop, allowing them to heal. This seemed to long. Whenever I see see pros or really good people they seem to move all in one group but with the medics following right alongside the marines healing them all the time. How is this done? I think this is one reason why my TvZ sucks...

if u have them all in the same group ud have to ctrl+click a marine or marine wireframe before stimming then. or to a little box and try not to get any medics. to move just the medics, same thing. putting them in different groups would seem to make these things easier. dont know how ur supposed 2 do it, id like to know 2

I might be an ass..but how hard is it to figure out how to use marines? Why would you group your marines and meds in 1 group so you can't stim? and your medics are dying because they are going ahead? Maybe click them backwards if they are walking into battle and dying? lol

If you want your medics to stick to your marines, just 1a2a3a and stim when you run into enemy units so they go straight to healing your marines

It is actually really easy.

Just simple, start of game as example.

Maines - 1
Medics - 2

So you engage some zerglings, and move to attack.

1-t-a-right click THEN 2-a-right click

"A" is attack for marines and Heal for medics. To stop medics from charging off ahead of ur marines, hit "T" for stim, so they turn back and start healing ur rines.
To micro, move the marines at the front of the group to the back. And repeat until enemy units are dead.
That is many tank? Yes?

Do what that guy above said, and spread your marines vs lurkers, and target them with shift click ^_^

Keep marines and medics in separate groups. When they get into combat, make sure you do NOT have both groups just A-clicked on the other side of whereever you're going - this will result in the medics charging forward and moving to that spot, while the marines are left behind because of their ranged attack, and die. Make sure that when combat starts, you keep the medics "attack-moved" to where the marines actually are.

I actually liked using Terran m&m when I used to play around in BW for fun. What Sir Alex says is pretty much what you gotta do.

Head up against Lurkers, try to keep your rines spread apart, to make the Lurker do as little/no splash damage as possible.
And keep them controled in separate groups, I usually went with 1-3 all marines, and 4 as my medics, and when in battle I just made sure the medics were spread around them. Using attack + A click works, but you have to set back the medics, or manually move them in battle.

Not if you press "a" - for attack, as he wrote.

if they can be stim->moved to where they can all fire together, do so.
if not, stim->spread them laterally so they don't stumble around.
you want them all shooting.
if they are in a clump when you are fighting lurkers, that is bad.
