okay-- let's pretend you notice my SCV building a turret in between your mine slaying.

what's to stop me from using the two SCVs (at least) I bring along to build things to build 2 MORE turrets?

or, in similar vein, what's to stop me from just finishing the turret? I really think your minerals are better spent elsewhere. run like 4 zealots through the minefield at different angles. that can usually clear a bunch.

terran would already have a turret up, a shuttle would be much more useful, your strategy is way too all in.

I used to get contained and freak also, but there are definitely ways around it. First of all, when you scout the wall the terran usually puts up, you need to come up with a plan to throw him off balance. You know he is either seige expanding or 2 facting. At low levels, there is a very nice answer to crush this containg shitter terran: DTs

Work on your mechanics and your macro. Make sure you are always making a probe, and DONT fucking be late for those pylons or else you will just be throwing the game away. Just be tight with your build, and keep a zeal and a goon at your choke to prevent him scouting your plan. As your archives is warping in, warp in a second gate, and make sure you have enough resources and supply to instantly start making those 2 darkies. When you leave your choke, don't slash his SCV, and dont walk the normal scouting path, bend around it. If he hasnt started floating his CC over yet, slash down a depot, and head for those SCVs. If there is a turret around his CC and you cant possibly kill it without losing both DTs, then kill anything you can out of range. The main goal here is to delay his seige expand and forms of detection. If it is unsafe for your DTs in his base, sit at his natural and slash at anything you see. If you want to be even more aggressive, warp in a robo after your first two DTs. This way, if he has a turret at his choke, you can just drop right on his scvs. If this doesnt work, at least you have a shuttle for some zealot bombing and possible elevator when you are trying to break his choke, AND you can get obs to defuse those pesky mines and reveal his positioning at all times

In the meantime, you should continue your macro. Make the decision between two and four initial DTs, but after that you need to constantly pump goons and/or expand before he does. After your expo is up, add a few gateways, and keep pumping zeals and goons. Dont forget zeal speed. AND DONT FORGET PYLONS!

what? vessels don't do anything to shuttles. a zealot bomb is way more useful then a scout. and u don't have to build a stargate to use a zealot bomb, either. and btw, turrets will be up way before your stargate is done.

Some people think that because they have a ridiculous post count they can for speak everyone, but shit like that just lessens the quality of this forum.

Because I'm a noob, I have been contained by T a lot. And I finally found a way around it.

Get an obs ASAP. Get a sgate and make one scout (you may begin flaming) and use the two to take out as many mines as you can.

meanwhile get 4-5 gates and make zeals/goons with range, (speed and storm too if you have time)

hit sieged tanks with scout(s). if they retreat then you push. if they dont then you finish blowing one up and then push. if t tries to make turret kill the scv. when you push use your scout too.

or, you know, mine out the back mineral.
but hey scouts, yeah!

Can a scout even kill an SCV in the time it takes to make a turret? The AtG damage is so worthless I can't honestly see ANYONE thinking this is a good idea.
