Quick Ledge
Sent in by -TerranItUp-, thanks!


This is mainly used by people that are totally Heavy Metal from the start,and are playing on Lost Temple.As some of you may know, ledging is a very potent strategy and can screw many people.If you don't know what ledging is,it is putting tanks on the ledge overlooking someones expansion and sieging,thus denying them minerals until they can sucessfully defeat the tanks/marines on there.The bad thing about it is,you have to wait till middle to semi late game to get dropships to do it.But doing it my way,it can be done in the first 7 to 10 minutes of the game.It especially smacks down people who early expand.Anyway,it involves scouting to see if they are quick expanding to start with.If they are, send an SCV to the bottom of there ledge.Build your 1st or 2nd Factory at the bottom of it.When it is finished,lift it off,land up on the ledge (there should be JUST enough room),and build a machine shop.When done,get siege and start pumping tanks.Siege when you feel confident enough to let yourself be revealed that you are up there.Later,if they still havn't taken it out,get a few goliaths up there.As I said,this is for Heavy Metal players,as it can only be done before they have air/drop ability.You may think I'm a dumb@$$ for posting something so obvious and seemingly easy,but it did suprise me when I had it done to me,because i had never really considered the possibilities of the Terran flying ability.

Note: The top bases ledge does not have enough room for a factory,so dont attempt doing it to a person at the top base.

CreepColony's Opinion: Good strategy to pi$$ opponents off.
