I tried it out last night and won in a nice long macro game. My first "deathball" push killed more of his army than mine while I continued to expand and keep him penned in. The unit comp is just very strong. | ||

But I'm having trouble placing tanks into the build. Tanks help greatly in defending your natural.but when it comes to the push the tanks seem to get overrun too quickly by all protoss anti tank units (zealots, archon, blinkstalker, immortals etc) and decent protoss would prevent you from having a strong siege position and attacking while unsieged. I like adding ravens to the build as PDD helps immensely and deny obs and dt with thor being a reaction to protoss play. Maybe a build which goes the normal MMMGV with ravens mixed in instead of tanks? Without a rep it's tough to say but perhaps your tank usage is sub optimal. As strange as it may sound watch some SC:BW TvP and watch how they use their tanks, use them the same way in SC2. I don't mean you should try to apply their builds or compositions, just watch how they maneuver their tanks and setup their pushes. You need to spread them out and keep your units infront of them. It works best if your units are very far infront of the tanks at first, then stutter step them backwards into the tanks. If your tank column is "deep" you can continue retreating backward through the forward tanks, but you do have to have your mobile army stop and fight at some point. In general I find tanks to be invaluable but they're difficult to use properly. They're definitely a good addition to the unit comp. | ||

i got one question tho: I just played against a protoss that took a 1 gate FE(when i scouted with hellion he now got 3 gates). so i strated producing banshees to send them at his base and started building my CC aswell, when i scouted my natural to see if it was safe to expand, the protoss army(around 5 stalkers and 6 zealots) were there, so i couldnt expand since i had some marines, tanks. should i have to just harras and he will suppose to go the way back?, or i cant engage that with my banshees tanks marines to expand?, i made a mistake and atack his units at my natural only with my tanks and marines, but forgot about the banshees, even tho i lost. btw this was on xelnaga caverns. | ||

So I found this guide incredibly helpful, but wanted to condense it into a visual format I could use as a cheatsheet while I'm playing. The result is up on reddit - hopefully a few other people will find it helpful, too! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FVxdk.jpg) | ||
