nice guide

also i cant see pics too

what average terrans lack most of the time is effort placed into their defenses/pushes. Well-thought out, properly placed (and thus much more dangerous) tanks/vults/depots/gols w/e are easily recognized by the toss player. In fact, i think most D toss players analyze and consider a terran's defense/push more than the terran does. I don't know why any terran would let that happen, especially since terrans are set way back by a major loss in their tank count while the toss army can replenish itself more easily in the case of a army-losing mistake by the toss.

Think the bandwidth went over on the picks, can't actually read the things. But the vids are still useful.

Yeah, the pictures definately need to be fixed.

Other than that I got a pretty good idea of the way to place tanks.
Can you ever argue in favor of something without first proving it?

Some of the initial pics you recommended (such as the "almost perfect" tank formation vs toss) were actually pretty bad suggestions. If the toss can, he will preferably stasis tanks in the back. You have your tanks spread out in the front, but all clumped in teh back. He could get 11 tanks with 2 stasis! No more than 2 tanks touching is ideal no matter where they are positioned really, unless you they are WAYY too far back.

Good post. Still, tank guide without any mention of (T)Flash seems just dead wrong

Gosh darn, this has passed under the radar, but certainly deserves much more love. I'm quite curious to see what you'd say are the recommended spots are for Destination and Fighting Spirit. Really, this makes me want to play BW again!

thanks for bumping
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

You're never too old for a classic
Very nice guide.

Nice guide. One thing I'm wondering about now is: do tanks take more damage when in Siege Mode, like does the armor go into lower points? I was never sure about this.
