I was actually thinking, I've been having a very hard time not getting supply blocked myself as T in the 120+ supply range, this is usually when I'm on 3 base plus, harassing and taking losses while building depots, but I just don't have a good feel for how many scvs I need building depots when I am on 6-10 production buildings...

I think your macro/micro is decent. I'm just going to give my reasoning for execution between your personal micro/macro issues.

For example say your attack moving. You should definitely be trying to macro between moves ( I use move stop for micro). So in the case of missing injects/not building while microing, where you want to keep your decent micro, just remember that you would MUCH rather move, do your macro hotkey back to units, micro. Than just micro and let your macro slip up. If you watched the Day[9] back to basics vid, near the end when you see him moving around all his zealots while building is kind of what im talking about (it's long into the video though).

I guess what I'm trying to say (that you probably already know, figured out from this thread) is that you would much rather have your slip ups in the micro than macro. So between the choice of retreating too far with micro and missing a couple of roach shots or missing an inject. It should always be making sure to get the inject/drone/building more units/supply.

It's much easier to have your micro be delayed (since it's easier to retreat/engage) as opposed to having your macro delayed in any way shape or form (macro delays mean your options for production/upgrades are based on a point in the past, as opposed to present time).

Taken your folks' suggestions to heart seems to have helped somewhat, as I was just promoted to Gold and am now beating platinum-rated players fairly consistently so another promotion may be in my near future.

Looking forward to joining the majority of you in Diamond within the next month!
