Take 20 marines vs 10 zealots - around 7 marines are left. Take 50 marines vs 25 zealots - around 30 marines are left. Take 100 marines vs 50 zealots - around 75 marines are left. Sure throw some marauders and medivacs in the mix but not until you've reached at least 40 marines. This same ball of marines is equally effective against immortals or stalkers..even voidrays. I'm still amazed at how many Toss attack my main thinking there's no way their nicely balanced force of zealots, stalkers, immortals and sentries can possibly lose to 50 marines with no EMP support. Of course you'll need to transition to mech/air and throw some ghosts in the mix to be ready for the HTs and colossi. 4 rax FE opening is the safest initial build against Protoss so far. | ||

with that mass marine strats you can beat anything the toss uses except for collossi or psi storm so try to get vikings asap against collossi and ur golden and before the toss gets collossi the terran can expand as much as he wants since his army is pretty much unbeatable | ||

If it is not possible for you to chronoboost or make colossus, I would say the next best thing is to use pre-ignited hellions. | ||

Take 10 marines vs 5 chargelots (identical cost). Give the marines and zealots +1 upgrades. Give the zealots charge and the marines stim and combat shield. There are around 3 or 4 zealots left after the skirmish. Take 20 marines vs 10 zealots - around 7 marines are left. Take 50 marines vs 25 zealots - around 30 marines are left.

Obviously if you scout it coming miles away then you can do whatever you'd like. But if your unit composition isn't strong enough to beat his when you move out, then just stay in your base a while longer and move out when you know you can crush his army. | ||
