That's one of the big features of my SST map. There, you can regularily see effective task forces of less than 5 or 6 units. Give them a group number, remember the hotkeys for their abilities, and you're set.

I play this in teams on multiplayer with a bunch from work, typically I play Terran, which can be very effective defensively and the others play Zerg or Protoss. I defend all three bases and they attack. Its very effective( both the strat and the game) at relieving AWS (After Work Stress).

Its a cool game and definately worth playing especially if you can get a friendly group together.

There's one thing I've always wondered about Starcraft: why are the buildings so big on the inside and so small on the outside?

And now I've caught the must-play-Starcraft bug too, but I lost my Brood War disk, though I still have the Starcraft one. I wonder if SJ's maps are SC+BW or SC only...

I'm not sure. One of them may be.
I'll whip up some more if you want. (Its fairly straightforward adjustments to stock maps, and then test-playing to make sure the AI won't lock up on a bad start position.)

Bumpity-bump-bump!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Hours and hours of time wasted so far! Fun game.

Does anyone know what Structure the "Covert Operations" add-on is supposed to attach to? I "found" one but I can't seem to build anything next to it, and I need it to Cloak my Ghost Spotters!

Thanks,

Science facility. You need Factory and Space Port built first though, and for Factory you need Barracks first. For Barracks you need Command Center =D.
