if you react a bit too late it can actually cost you your whole army, because if the banes are close your initial patrol will cause a large portion of your marines to stand and shoot | ||

You will find a map called "Marine Split Challenge" as the top result. When you click on it, the description is "Thread in teamliquid". No need to download. | ||

Obviously there is something horribly wrong with the EU publishing of this map. | ||

If it works for marines, definitely will work for banneling too right | ||

stimmed marines can already kite rolling banes i thought 2.25*1.5=3.375 vs the 2.95 of rolling banes. it is very different on creep though. a variant of the patrol+run manuever would be to send a marine or scv into the banelings to tank the damage. also splitting your units would be what the Z player wants in the first place... it allows for better surround with the speedlings. i think the best thing is just to perform the split before going into Z base. | ||

If it works for marines, definitely will work for banneling too right Banelings are typically going towards the enemy, not away. I'm not sure how this technique would be useful for banelings. Maybe speedlings vs banelings in zvz? You'd have to run at a much more perpendicular angle though since banelings are slower than speedlings, whereas they're faster than marines. | ||

I was always under the impression that you had to right click your marines far back and start manually spreading them out by right clicking individual areas, but once I tried a-clicking instead of right-clicking it became 500 times easier. Is right clicking the manual split way, or a-clicking? I can see why one would p-click rather than a-click since the marines sort of magic box, and I might keep the patrol hotkey as Q from now on just for that, but a-clicking seems to work fine. | ||

Mass marines with medivacs will rape speedlings regardless of if they're split or not, and stacking up again is as simple as 1a-ing. Not to mention tanks makes any engagement a do or die for the zerg, he can't bait any units, if he goes in, he needs to go in. | ||
