Walk-through

enemy Terran garrison with Vultures, Goliaths, Marines, and Firebats that you should be able to destroy with little trouble. Watch for reinforcements from the northwest, and move your survivors north along the eastern edge of the map until you meet Duran. Fortunately, his base has a Vespene geyser nearby, and you should begin mining it immediately, so that you can upgrade your weapons and research Siege Tech. Don't forget to defend Duran's base with a Bunker.

Continue gathering resources. Amass several dozen Marines and at least half a dozen Siege Tanks.

A combined force of Marines and Siege Tanks eliminate the enemy defenders and their Command Center.

You'll need to send these along the route Duran specified. Keep your Marines in front, and don't hesitate to use Stim Packs if they come under fire. Kill the enemy SCVs, and have one group of Marines hold off any resistance while another group and your Siege Tanks go straight for the Command Center. Don't worry if your first attack fails; you should have enough resources to keep the pressure on. Your enemy will continue to build reinforcements, though, so if your first attack isn't strong enough, send even more forces the next time. Once the enemy Command Center is eliminated, your mission is complete.
