So.. I'm still kinda figuring out TvT, and I'm particularly uncomfortable on HBR since I'm unsure about there to push/take position etc since there's 2 ways to go.

So I open up 1 fact port, don't do too much damage, but notice my expand is earlier versus his early Dropship build.

So I sit on my lower ledge taking my third.

Now, I decide that, since I'm ahead (notice how his third hasn't been started yet) I can sit back. The trick is to go from this ramp to the next, so I can secure a 4th and 5th.

However, like I said, the upper route remains open and of course I'm pretty scared of his army flanking me from there.

So I mine up the top route...

research Flare, make some Medics...

and start blinding the mines,, while in the meanwhile I push from ramp to ramp (notice the minimap) and shut down his expo at 4.

And then... ^^

Nah. I was really ahead at this point and he ggs and leaves right before I stark nuking his shit

How come people don't know this. Yeah that way the mines won't come up until the units are right on top of them. Almost as good as Allied Mines.

Blinded mines don't pop up until the unit is RIGHT on top of them, as they can't see them until then.

If there's a unit spotting for the mines, it won't work, because they'll still be able to see the target through the other unit's vision.

uhm, why did you blind your mines? I'm pretty clueless.......so they won't detonate unless something walks directly over them?

Probably to sneak by and take out expo undetected.

When you take ingame/rep screenshot, the game saves the screenshot as .pcx file into the Broodwar/SC folder, you have to change these .pcx files to jpg or w/e with BWHF Agent- tool.
