A long guide for newbies playing Terran! Submitted by $Ghosty_Nuts$
Terran doesn't have the strongest men nor the best. But they do have a S-T-R-O-N-G attacking force if you know what you are doing... Below Is some tips
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First you wanna start out by sending the 4 SCV's you have now to the minerals. This way you have 4 SCV's getting minerals. Now build another one and send him to the minerals too. Now as soon as you get 50 minerals make another SCV. As soon as that SCV is done, make another one. Keep doing that until you get up to 150 minerals while doing the previous. Now when you reach that much, send the last SCV you made or are makeing to anywhere in your base, and build a barraks. While it builds build how many more SCV's you need to get to 9/10. Send the ninth one near an area you would wanna leave for Depots. Build one there. When the barracks is done have that SAME scv build a Gas thing... lol... WEll anyways once you do that. send the SCV that finished the depot, have him build a bunker at the entrance. build 4 marines while it is building. Fill the bunker when its done. Now back to the gas. You should have 4 SCV's per geiser. So make that amount for the gas. Also make sure you have atleast 15+ scv's mining. Now once you have 100 gas and 200 min, make a Factory. DO NOT ADD ON! NOT YET. while it build make more bunkers. You should have atleast 3 protecting yourself. Once the factory is done make -3- starports. One with a Tower added on. Now while you do that make a Eng. Bay for turrets/upgrades. you should have atleast 2 ofthem to upgrade armor and attacking. After that you should have your Starports ready. If you plan on attacking with Wraths, Cruisers, and D-Ships then follow this. --------- build aDropship at the first Starport. and at the other 2 make wraths. Have one SCV make a Science Facility somewhere in ur base. Then once u have the wraths and Ship done. Make 1 WRAITH AT ALL OF THE PORTS. While you wait your Facility should be done... Add on a Physics Lab. Then while that builds Your wraiths should be done. Once they are add Towers to the other two that didn't have any. Once done. make another Drop Ship. You should have 16 Marines handy... so make another barracks, and build 16 marines. Load them into the Drop Ships. you should have 5 wariths with Cloak and Upgrades. You can attack with them jsut to weaken them... Once you do that... You should build 3 cruisers. Upgrade Yamato. Build another Facilty and add on a Covert Ops. Build an academy. Once Ops is done, build a SILO on your Com. Center. Build a ghost and upgrade Personal Cloak. load it into a dropship... find a weakspot where you attacking with your wraiths... Unload the ghost there and cloak. NUKE IT DUH! Now once you nuke put the ghost somewhere safe in the opponents base... Make another nuke and nuke again. Oh yeah, and Build Depots when needed. Now... once your ghost dies... You should have 3 cruiers that you made before well make 3 more sop you have 6. Once done... make 4 tanks and 2 dropships and load them up too. send the cruisers to Kill Turrets, Spores, Cannons. With the cannons aim for the pylons. When done... Drop your tanks in there base near the minerals... siege them and have the cruisers kill the SCV's. you should take out half of the base with just that. But i can assure you, your men will die eventually if you are playing someone with some skill. When that happens you should sweap up with mass marines. however attack through the entrance where his defense is probably. Keep attacking constantly to weakin it. He will have to do serious rebuilding so he won't have enough money to repair or rebuild any of the defense. Send tanks to help out. Siege tank em. When the defense falls. Send everything you got through the entrance. Build wraiths/Cruisers which ever you want. here is some attack strats that i have been sucessful with.
Wraith/Cruisers- Favorite Have 12 cruisers and 24 wraiths cloaked. Yamato the defense and send wraths to minerals to kill Miners. Then have your cruisers kill the defense. Have a Vessel follow to get Burrowed and Cloaked guys
Ground Attack- Another Favorite 60 Marines and 36 Firebats, and if neccessary have 5 ghosts to kill off tanks. Science Vessel to follow it too
TANK ATTACK!!!!- Great attack if you have enough money have about 24 tanks. Seige them all to take out the defense... have about 10 wraiths covering them incase of air. You should have a Science Vessel with it as well
Nuclear Attack/Ghosts- MY PERSONAL FAVORITE Now, this is what you wanna do. Have 12 Ghosts... and have 2 command centers with nukes ready. Unload 10 of your ghosts, and the other two that are gonna nuke somewhere in the enemy base. cloak them and nuke in the same spot. The Guy wont know where he is goonna get nuked since you are attack his d with ghosts... once you nuke you can sweap him up with ghosts. They will die eventually.
The Drop of Hell have 4 Drop ships FILLED with marines... 3 with firebats. 4 with tanks. 1 with ghosts. have 3 science Vessels follow to pick up hidden guys... Then have about 20-30 Wraiths/valkaries depening on what you got... BroodWar or StarCraft. well if you have BW valkaries for the air. and if your have StarCraft Wraiths for all around killing.
If you want to test any of these strategies out my name on StarCraft/BroodWAr is $Ghosty_Nuts$ We can play a computer and i can help you out I am normally in the following Channels
...........................................................
Clan Chaosportal
Booya
ace133
fight
and more but those are my favorites... - me and my friend $The_Ghost$ are experts at these strategies... All of them have worked for me.
With the wraiths you should have no problem with that against protoss. I had 15 wraiths in 7 minutes... and if anyone says your rushing... ignore them because if you can get air before they have anything to attack you with... THEY SUCK! Good Luck with these strats... i know they aren't the best.... But THEY do work

Longarms's Fast Expansion
Expand quickly the Longarm way! Submitted by -{Br}-LoNgArMz-
Well if ur a good terran player and u have an extand u shouden't have 2 lose, so that's why this strat :)
u begin with building a sup at ur 9 keep on pumping the scv's at ALL time, as soon je have money for a rax build one.
gather 100 mins more and then build ur 2end sup, after that a rax.
Begin 2 pump gas and as soon as u got 200 mins and 100 gas build a factory, rember the rines and scv's should be PUMPING all time.
As soon as fac finishes buid the machine shop develop the siege mode ASAP with the siege mode build a Tank... when this is building build a comcenter at ur expanson this is inportant u can only build it when ur tank is comming not faster.
Put the tank on an edge in reach of ur expansion.
1 more inportant tip as soon as comcenter finnishes u shoul put 8 scv's to ur expanson from ur main base!!!
And now?? JUST PUMP EVERYTHING U CAN :)
