Use your initial vultures to immediately hunt the zealots south east of your position (use patrol micro ofc). Once they are cleared, you can use cloaked Kerrigan to hunt dragoons. That should make their initial attack force on the west zerg opening small enough for the zerg to handle them-self.

I already tried that.
It's true that you can hunt the zealots, but Kerrigan doesn't kills dragoons fast enough at all.
The problem still remains cause even if you stop the second attack, the next one arrives with 4-5 reavers and you can't defend two fronts at the same time. You stop it and then a few protoss units in the west were killing zerg building.

I tried going for mines instead of tanks because the lack of gas, but you need some more firepower..

Do you have some vods? Did you managed to end the mission?

This mission requires a lot of apm/multi-tasking (vulture micro, macro, bio micro). So I haven't got past the first wave of reavers. With proper micro and macro I think the mission should be doable

To stop the reaver wave (and the first dragoon wave), lift your Barracks ,Factory and CC and place them like this:


Once placed, make sure that you aggro the Protoss such that they want to attack the Kerrigan that is standing behind the wall. This will ensure that the Protoss will try to send its entire force through the wall (even Zealots want to attack Kerrigan instead of attacking the buildings next to her). The AI will send the reavers via shuttle. Use lockdown once the shuttle is within range of the marines (or when it is capable of dropping in your base).

Sounds like a challenge of the gods! Time to gather my team of professional Campaign specialists and crack the secret to that level without the medic

After a few hours of trying, I found the cheese for New Gettysburg.

The goal of this mission isn't to win, its to hinder the protoss enough that the zerg eventually wins through economic superiority.

At the start of the mission, load kerrigan into the dropship and drop her off in front of the protoss' top right main, and hide the dropship in the space on the right edge of the map. Protoss has no detection, so you can walk in the front door and massacre all their probes. I actually also killed the nexus, but I'm not sure it was a good idea, they rebuild it near instantly and it takes forever to take it down.

After killing the probes in the top right main, run kerrigan out of the base and hop in the dropship, and hug the right side of the map down to the bottom right corner, then you can take out the economy in the bottom right base (they send two goons from the top right of the map to defend this, if you have mines you can snipe them in the middle, at which point they'll send 2 more goons, you don't really even need to be cloaked in the bottom right base) .

Back at home during all this, I researched spider mines and used them to defend the zerg from the protoss attacks. You start with 150 gas for the addon + research, so you never have to mine any gas. It's pretty difficult to hold the early game attacks without kerrigan, the wall I found most effective was to use the factory + addon to wall off the bottom side of the minerals and keep my forces behind the mineral line.

Right before Zerg's big hydra attack, I lifted off my base and stuck it in the bottom left corner of the map - this attack and every future zerg attack smashed into the protoss instead of me. Zerg ends up taking your main and the expo, and overwhelms toss with 4 base zerg vs weak economy protoss.

I had to do a bunch of other random things like bait the scout attack into not going towards spore colonies with my command center, and block reavers from going up a ramp with a cloaked kerrigan, but I doubt your game will play out the same way mine did.

It's a little boring to win this way since you're just cowering in the corner, but I feel like it's nearly impossible to actually survive, let alone eliminate the toss player yourself.

It worked! Just insane, not impossible.

It was really fun, I recomend you to try. Here you have the vod:

Starcraft Insane Solo Terran Ep9

Once again thank you to Glenstorm for the solution.

That was a surprisingly entertaining recording! Loved the Groundhog Day/Edge Of Tomorrow vibes while you're trying again and again and again to make two air armies clash with a single vulture who has only 4-5 seconds to intercept, because the save you're reloading was made too late

BTW thanks to everyone involved for this mod, it's great work, and I just disovered it with the latest bump - already halfway through it with a friend.

I need your help once more Cerebrates!

We have a new New Gettysburg, now called Full Circle or insane Zerg 10.
We are invading Aiur and Kerrigan is missing, we don't know what's more important than taking down Aiur but...it's ok, she is the favorite. The overmind needs ideas for this important task. Thank you very much to all

Here you can see what we are facing:

On an unrelated point:
I think with all this content and discussions, these posts about the insane campaign should probably get their own topic, this one is still titled for the co-op campaign.
