I was using tank push and was able to get to the last base but there's BC and tanks there...I can't kill him and I can't out mine him what to do?

Apart from that its simply running around the map and taking all scrap while being conservative with your expenditures. Don't forget to send a unit to the junkyard every so often to claim the 300 minerals, Are you trying to kill his main base before you get Mira to join you? I don't see why you'd charge off there when thats not the first objective.

You want to beat Orlan to 6000 minerals, hire her, then attack his base.

Push out the north, make sure you pull one marine at a time, and if you want make another marine or two. that way you don't risk losing any marines. When you pull the one out, you shouldn't have any problem, or have to stim. Take out the 2 marines, and head to trash-extractor thing, and once again kite one at a time, collect your 300 and move up to the base. This has 5 marines and 2 medics. You've got 4-6 and a medic. If you engage immediately, you'll lose all your force and die, so once again, pull them out. As of right now, your upgrade should be getting done about now, and your 4 vultures being delivered. Plant 6 of the 12 mines in the south entrance in a circle. Now back to the battle up top, for me, they came in groups of 2. The medics followed the last group. Once you get to the command center, A fire bat will be waiting for you, and another 3-4 marines + 1 medic will engage you. Before you enter this battle you should stim, Take out the marines first, the firebat cant fire fast enough to do any immediate damage. Once the battles over sweep up the command center. By the time you get back you should have collected about 1.2-1.6k minerals, and make sure that you get the protoss tech, because it gives you 150 for destroying the reckage. Make 1 more medic, and call in some war pigs. By now the bottom spider mines have gone off, and you should be exploring the bottom. Get the protoss tech, and keep pulling the marines/firebats to the best of your ability. Right now you should have 1 attack upgraded 10-12 marines, 2 medics, and 4 vultures. Plant 3 mines up at the north ramp, but as of now your base is forfeit. Attack the southern base with your marines and 2 medics, but don't just engage, keep pulling the units. The same run as the north base, just with a goliath and a few more marines. Take it out, and get your resources. By this time, the 3 mines at your base have gone off, and you've planted the other 3 up at the north ramp. This next base-attack I did not live, so I can't give you anymore info. By this time you should have about 4.5k-5k. Forget about your base, just lift your cc, and fly it to the corner. Get your 300 from the extractor after battling 2 marines and a goliath for it, head to the last base. Same as the first and second, and as soon as you pick up the base minerals, if you've collected the other available recourses, you should have won. If you haven't, keep heading north and take hte boxes. If you don't have 6k by now, I can't help you. edit - Sorry guys, I didn't realize how old this topic was.
