Anyways when sentries use force field it pushes units of the way, so the units aren't trapped under the force field. But this means if the units have no where to go they are compressed in the same area with other units.

So I used this in order to get 20'ish siege tanks in the same place, then sieged them all on top of each other. To make things easier I put the siege tanks in a corner so I can push them in with a single line of ff's. In order to pull this off I create a line of force fields at the edge of the siege tanks. Then I create another line over the edge of the siege tanks compressing them slightly. I continue this until all the siege tanks are in the same place and there's no where left to push them. Finally I siege them so they stay where they are even when ff's end.

This is the siege tanks sieged up and all in the same spot.

This is the siege tanks after I unsieged them and they spread out.

This is the tanks being compressed with force field.

This is the replay
Tank Stacking Replay

While I used this on siege tanks, this can be used on any unit to my knowledge, unless its massive of course. Also it shouldn't make a difference whether it's your our an enemy units you are stacking with ff. I just did this on my own units so my sentries wouldn't be attacked when I was ff'ing.

not seeing why this would be useful in any scenario but it's certainly very, very silly.

Well, if enemy splash isn't a concern, you can stack the tanks up to make sure they don't splash each other, then surround them with hellions and/or marauders.

As far as usefulness, I just thought it looked cool, its like an uber siege tank. Also in theory you could do this to compress your opponents army and then hit all their units with 1 storm or any splash attack.

Do buildings contain stacked units? It would be cool to corral a bunch of marauders into a small circle of depots and let your opponent attack it.

Yea its cool you can get that many tanks (stacked) but I think the real usefulness of this trick will come in force fielding units into walls in order to psi-storm them to all hell.
